Going looking at an 1990 e30 touring tomorrow, anything particular to look out for ? main places where they will rust ?
Only seen the car from the outside so far and from there only rust i seen was on the sun roof, bringing trolley jacks with me to get a proper look underneath as well.
NCT is out since 2008 but from what i have been told the asking price is very cheap so i know its going to need bit of work most likely but my main concern will be the rust.
I think the scuttle panel gives awful trouble, in under the windscreen. Inner arches etc. That's just what I gather from doing a bit of reading on them myself. Anywhere that water sprays onto or can settle basically!

I think you get the hint :D
And leaks, and torn subframes
Rust is the big thing, check scuttle panel, battery tray, arches, sills, bottom of wings, jacking points, and around the rear number plate. Oh and if it has a mech 2 kit there will be rust under the kit, other then that I wouldn't worry about bushings brakes suspension etc being worn/tired that can all be fixed handy enough
Did you buy it?
