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

Nope, it's not

Are you a batka?

I could only wish
Check for:
Rust
Blown head gasket
Oil leaks
that's pretty much it, good comfy cars

If it has gas injection you're halfway there

Because I like old classics?
Also OOM 500
Looks pretty mean! Is it turboed?

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

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.

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

That violet is aesthetic as fuck. Give it a detail first things first.
