Hey guys, I'm thinking about buying this 525, but I don't know much about the 2.5 i6, or the E34 in general. What should I look out for/be wary of. Are there major problem areas to check out? All input is appreciated.

its the same as the 2.5 used in e36s, so cooling system. Not sure if that year had vanos.
Honestly you should try to find a 535 or 540. The 535 with manual is probably the strongest most reliable car bmw ever made.

As much as I'd like to, I need a car yesterday and I'm on a real tight budget. I've always liked E30's and E34's, so I'll see if I can find another tonight.

What do you do if it breaks? You have to have plenty money on hand. Shut up and buy a civic.

I can do all the repairs myself, and I have access to parts for cheap; I'm not worried about that aspect. At this immediate time, I don't have a lot of cash as I have recently fucked myself.

Also, fuck a civic. My last two cars have been fwd, and my last was essentially a civic si (06 RSX type s). I'm going back to rwd or AWD.
I don't want to talk you into buying some shit car like a civic, but you'll really regret buying the automatic. Especially at that mileage.
