Not sure where he had the work done. If you want you can give him a buzz at either of the #'s listed.

Clean car. Kind of rare with the 5 speed. It's screaming for oldschool M wheels.

Heh that's funny, I was just reading about mid 90's E-series earlier...

Hope the block was replaced w/the new Alusil cylinder liners.

No, not true. The '30's had problems with the blocks too.

Most problems are from Eastern USA. I was reading a little about it at http://www.bimmer.info/forum

I have never seen one issue with the I6. The pre 97 V8's were bad news. I have seen many many many I6's with over 300k on them.

I agree, the I6's were tanks. I have owned a few, but this body style 530 is a V8.
