'93 525i want to purchase. Any thoughts?

[VirtualOutlook.net]

I am thinking about purchasing a 1993 525i

It has 130,000 miles on it.

And I can get it for $4000.

It looks and runs good.

My only concern is reliability. Like, how long it will last and if there are any known major issues that might occur. Does anyone have this model? If so how many miles? And anything major go wrong?

I currently have a 2002 Altima that I use for work, but would like to not use for work because I drive 30,000 miles a year. Thats why I'm thinking of BMW.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mark [driving2]

Sounds ok, I paid £3000 (UK) for my 525 sport on 96000 miles.
