I'm not really close to pulling the trigger or anything, but I was just wondering if anyone had any insight into what sort of mess I'd be getting myself into.
Caveat: I'm not really a turning-wrenches sort of guy – I have very little experience, and am unfortunately not particularly mechanically inclined. I'd be willing to try and learn more minor stuff, but anything really involved is going to have to go to an indie shop.
Potentially save me from myself, please. Unless it's a great idea which I hope it is.  |
Great cars, but go in eyes open -an E24 will need regular maintenance and an indie BMW shop budget. If you buy a well-sorted late car, it’s a rewarding classic, just not a low-effort one.
