    Default I need you guy's opinion (84 E30)

    I need an opinion on an E30 I'm planning to buy. The price was originally $500, but I talked the guy down to $350. I'm including a few pics, because honestly I've wanted one for some time, but I know nothing about them. What I do know is that the car wont start, when I try to crank it, its just a click sound. Not a clicking, just like a click? Something looks sketchy with the door locks too...I dunno what thats about. The int. is wrecked, as the pics show. The engine looks about the same, I was told that its been sitting for maybe 3 weeks. I believe it, because it still has a tag good until Dec 09.

    What do you guys think though? What are some common issues with E30s? Do the engine pics show any tell-tale signs I should know about. Anything jumping out screaming "NOOOO!"?

    Looks like a huge headache, IMO. I wouldn't touch it unless it's to part it out.

    @ the door lock though, wtf is that...

    I have no idea wsup with the lock. You're the second person to say don't touch it, I think I'm just gonna accept that this isnt the best move.

    does he even have a legit title? almost seems like someone stole it, realized it was fucked beyond belief and wants to get rid of it.
