...Rust is not a problem with the e24 with the exception of rust belt cars, which I would avoid. Ditto the automatic transmission.

I disagree .... mine is an E28 5-Series which I bought after seeing a few nice 6'ers with rust. This is really too bad, as they are a beautiful car which will appreciate much more than my Five, but rust is a threat and it usually happens in the rear wheel wells ... bumpers ... and then front fenders.

Horst - 1983 528e (rust around licence plate)
