I had bought a 1995 525i in May with 199k on it. everything was fine, a few lifters were sticking, and needed a little tlc. well i got hit recently and totaled it. Im getting ready to buy a 1993 525i with 139k on it. I had replaced the driveshaft in the first one so im pulling it off and putting it in the new one im getting. It was only in there 3 days. What else should i expect to go wrong if anything. the car im buying has a brand new head on it, with as of right now 0 miles on it. What else should i expect to start replacing.

Everything can go wrong on an e34. Just make sure all the electronics and HVAC controls work. Make sure the heater doesn't smell like antifreeze, that's about a 12 hour job to replace the heater core.
