E30 Upkeep

[quadcam]

hi,

I really want to buy an e30 bmw. What is the upkeep costs on one of these beasts? What are some of the common services on these cars and for how much do they cost?

Mostly depends on mileage... the more use the car gets the more things wear out, obviously. But e30's do need a couple other things that some cars dont, such as frequent timing belt changes, valve adjustments, and the like.

my car has 210k, and still pulls strong, but lil things need a' fixin, like Power Steering pump hose, Brake light switch, not too much though.
