Hello Veeky Forums,
I am about to buy this e34 520 with m20 engine.
What should I look for when inspecting the car?
Hello Veeky Forums
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
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
>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
Then why the fuck would you want a bmw?
ok
Because I like old classics?
Also OOM 500
Looks pretty mean! Is it turboed?
you cant turbo these cars without a small fortune
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
>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.
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.
