hi guys,there is an e30 4door year 84,no rust,original paint a bit faded. engine converted to m50b20 5speed auto. 5lugs with stock e36 rim. the owner want to let go at 7.5k. problem is the car cannot start. got tok tok sound. is it worth buying?
crankshaft has probably broke.....this is typical with m50 to e30 converted without any proper technical knowledge......7.5k for a heap of metal jn is quite expensive

dunno untill proper inspection of the car/engine , then can estimate what is the probable cause,my sidekick,pussy is well equip with this knowledge, but i hear he charges for consultation fees these days
you may end up replacing the whole engine, i.e. halfcut , then there's the wiring that needs to be checked, and other stuff too, and there is the case of one problem leading to another.......
btw, i hear that not many auto m50 conversion into the e30 make it so far, problems will crop up in a shortrun, so far 2 have already converted to manual due to some complications
