1991 BMW 325i convertible. E30 body style. I bought this car about 3 years ago. It runs like a top and is my daily driver. Crack free dash, rust free car. Since I purchased the following has been done: New front shocks Replaced timing belt (preventative @ 146k) Replaced water pump (preventative @146k) Replaced driveshaft support assembly (immediately after purchase) Replaced guibo bushing (immediately after purchase) Replaced soft top Replaced front tie rods The car has never left me stranded and I wouldn't expect it to. These m20 engines are known to be reliable with basic maintenance. Some known issues or things that could be improved: Front control arms are on their last leg Aesthetics (seats, exterior) A/c needs to be converted to r134a Power steering leaks at the rack, I've driven the vehicle without power steering with no issue Top leaks- when I replaced the top, I was short on cash and didn't replace the seals. They can be replaced for ~$300. I've kept the vehicle garaged since owning so this want a huge issue for me. I love this vehicle, but at this point it's not practical for me. Please feel free to message with any questions
