High milage E36

[bmdubnubee]

I just test drove my first BMW, and I think Im in love. It's a 92 325i, white, with oxblood interior. Im on the prowl for a new ride, as Im becoming disatified with my nissans tin can feel.
The car seems to be in great shape, but there is one problem, the miles. 178,000 to be exact! The price is good, accourding to KBB, and I'm sure I can get the dealer to drop it more. Want I need to know is what are some typical problem that these cars have, esp at these mile? I did a search and came up empty handed, Im sure this has been covered before, so if any one has a link, that would do.
Thanks!

Hi, I just bought a 1995 325ci with 118,000 miles. I just had it checked out. It is in the shop getting "deferred maintanence". The engine sounds great (could be the Dinan muffler). The driver side rear window rattles but works. A serious squeek in back turned out to be blown rear shock mounts. Valve cover gasket leaks. Power stearing lines leak. I have driven it about 50 miles and I love it! If I get 200K miles out of it I will be happy. When I get it out of the shop, I will take a picture and post it.
