silverbmw528 Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Some may know that I'm in the line for a new car to replace the E34 which goes in the paper next week. I've seen a nice M3, 95 but with 150k. It has full BMW service history and looks that part but would I be biting off more than I can chew with regards to parts and servicing ? I've added it to my view list this Saturday anyway but would mind some help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverbmw528 Posted April 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 The one for sale is an E36 and is up for £5k. Who can I tell if it's got Vanos problems ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] To be honest a £5k E36 M3 is a very brave purchase....you need to get an inspection and if the vanos is shot (will sound "tappety") then run away... For £5k you'd be better off with a nice E30 M3 to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
