E30 esperts =)

[mr.golf]

Yallo doods, I am considering my first BMW, an 86 325E. I know the usual things being timing belt and general items. Is the 2.7 a decent motor, or is this a dud model to stay away from (kinda like some passats and audi's )

Money Pit or solid fun car?

Gonna look at it tonite.

Re: E30 esperts =)

the 325e is the "economy" version. If I am correct it only puts out 120hp... pretty weak for a 2.7L I6.

I've heard head gaskets can be troublesome. I wonder how hard they are to lower?

Re: E30 esperts =)

replacing springs is pretty easy.That'll get you lower.
I never had a problem with any headgaskets on my old M20 before i replaced it.

I owned the car for two years and only had to replace fuel pump.
great cars, IMO.
