RE:What to look for in a '95 M3 (buying)

[jaymiller@xxxxxxxxxx]

Find out if the waterpump has been replaced! You do not want the plastic
impeller. They go pop. 
Also look at the rear tires make sure they're not bald. I believe all '95
M3's don't have LSD or anything like it. SO they eat rear tires.
Check the exhaust fumes, starting it from a cold engine. Usually a little
white smoke comes out till the catalytic conv heats up.
Check under the front spoiler, it's really low and a careless driver tends
to dig it into the ground.
I'd also look at how dirty the brake fluid is. Run the Vin on Carfax. Ask if
it's ever had any track time.

Any check all the usually stuff, hoses, tread depth and how even it is from
side to side (alignment, wheel balanced), 

You should buy one from a Bimmer fanatic, they tend to keep they're cars in
optimal shape.

Grassroots Motorsport magazine ran a good article last month about buying a
turbo or supercharged car. Although I've been really lucky with mine, I
would have loved to read that article before I bought a car (any kind).
