hey, i'm looking at getting a 1989 325e for about $1500. the only thing i'm concerned about, is that I'm only familiar with manual transmissions (this one's automatic).
are there any specific quirks or problem areas I should be looking at to make sure i'm not about to step into a lemon-flavored time bomb? I know that a clutch replacement is in order around 175000 for manual cars, is there any kind of similar repair that becomes necessary around this time for auto cars? (it's at 178000)
so far, it looks pretty good. i need to spend more time under the car, and under the hood though, just to make sure it's all gravy (and NOT overheating! ARGH)
hopefully i will soon have a rebuild/parts car, and a daily driver!
