Chris:

Perhaps you can leave the chain, etc., to the new owner who should probably invest in a top-end rebuild? Just a thought. Or, perhaps I misunderstand and you're taking offers till you have the timing chain replaced. In that case, you should do the top-end as well.

You're half-way there already if you're redoing the sprockets and such. You disturb the front of the head gasket anyway, why not do the whole thing. It is a bit more labour and about $600 for the head machining work.

I'd say measure the bottom end as well, but those bits are pretty robust.

BTW:
Nice 325iS: $6k (available EASILY in the Atlanta area)
Nice E30 M3: $15k (tough to find)
