1995 M3 - Good deal? -Reply

[SMILLER@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Rebecca, some early cars had weak valve spring retainers.  If I recall all
the Digest postings, BMW refused to actually admit that they were weak,
so there was no recall.  Someone from the Digest who went through this
can shed more light on the problem.  The price and mileage sound good,
all other things being equal...
