ok, so ive had plenty of opportunities to buy an e38 but i keep letting them pass just b/c of the type of person i am. i like to do my own work. it makes my car MY CAR. so i came across this 97 e38. it looks great inside and out. she has a few mishaps cosmeticly but nothing major. the guy is selling it for $1500. here comes the kicker. i got the car running while i was there. as i listened to the idle, it sounds like a misfire. then i see white smoke, so i check the oil; blown head gasket. is it woth the investment to get this one? how much hell am i gonna catch changing these head gaskets? ive heard working on these is like working on chevy. hell, it looks like an ls motor from the top. anyhoo, everything else w/ the car is PERFECT. i did a massive walk through of the vehicle while i was there. i was inpecting for close to 3 hours. the head gasket is the only problem. the oil is light brown. what do you think? thanx for your input.
