E31 owner trying to advise co-worker on purchase. 48k, seller asking $12,900. Any known problems w/this model (92 325 Convertible). E36 board says that 92 convertibles are E30 and that interiors are shoddy....thanks for your help.

If it has a power top, make sure the top goes up/down properly. There is a rod on the passengers side under the boot lid cover that controls the top to retract (prone to snapping). When we bought our 92 E30 325iC, 3 days later this rod snapped! (about $50 from the dealer, & easy to install). As far as the engine, make sure timing belt/ water pump have been changed as w/ all E30's (very bullet-proof motor). As far as the 92 E30 325iC having shoddy interiors?? I think 92 is one of the best years to have beacuse of having the power-top option, smaller plastic bumpers (not aluminum diving boards), nice sport interior, Drivers side airbag, etc.. I MUCH rather prefer the E30 chassis than the "bland" E36. "Long Live The E30..."

Just my .02 cents- HtH,
