Hello /o/,
I am about to buy this e34 520 with m20 engine.
What should I look for when inspecting the car?

Bump for interest

Good cars, only issues are weak cooling systems and rust.

Automatic gearboxes will give issues if the fluid isn't changed, but that's really is outside of wear and tear.

Not sure where you are in the world, but some Americans say parts are expensive there. I am in Europe and they are very cheap and everywhere.

I am in Bulgaria.
The car is manual. Driver seat is ragged but everything else looks good on the pictures
>>
Bump for more opinions
>>
Rust, dents, tire condition, past repairs. Some of these take a lot of motor oil so check for leaks etc.
>>
Don't forget to checkout the rubber around the windows, water can infiltrate underneath

>Bulgaria

then it has been owned by a gypsy, do not buy
>>
>>15437956
Nope, it's not
>>
>>15437959
Are you a batka?
>>
>>15437968
I could only wish
>>
Check for:
Rust
Blown head gasket
Oil leaks
that's pretty much it, good comfy cars

>>15437986
>I could only wish
If it has gas injection you're halfway there

My muscles aren't big enough and I have more than a half brain
>>
>>15438007
Then why the fuck would you want a bmw?
>>
ok
>>
>>15438015
Because I like old classics?
Also OOM 500
>>
Looks pretty mean! Is it turboed?
>>
>>15439070
you cant turbo these cars without a small fortune
>>
>>15439070
>>15439098
It is N/A but the guy selling it is giving TD04 for free with it. Also it is relatively cheap to turbo one of these here

>>15437430
>What should I look for when inspecting the car?
Another car. E34 520 is terrible underpowered
>>
Possible nikasil engine issues. Google it, it'll take too long to explain what it is and how to diagnose.

>purple e34 m5 w/black 5 spokes

Don't Giorgi into a tree now.

Fug. It's just a 520. My bad.
>>
>>15439451
It's 520 with m technic body kit.
I am planning to DDit for a year or two and then swap the engine

>>15439487
