[QUOTE="flash, post: 65774, member: 62"] That is the problem. To find a good example M50B25 E34 at the price I can afford is like trying to strike a jackpot. A few weeks back, I thought I found one such example. Price is good too. Everything looks and feels ok... except that when on idling for 1/2 hour so with the aircon on, the temp gauge was at 3/4. Scrutinised the engine again and found tell-tale oil leaks around the gasket area, which the dealer tried to hide by cleaning the engine very well. Guess the engine had suffered some damage from overheating problems. Gave it a wide berth. Darn. Guess I can live with the 2.0L, well, I have been driving 1.5L and 1.6L cars in the past and they were no tyre burners. [/QUOTE]
