help with deciding on to buy or not

[blindside56]

I know where i can buy a '85 325 e, which is all wheel drive...i know that is not what a 85 325 e is but that is what the car is must of had an ix swap done. I know the owners of the car really well and they want to sell it to buy a newer one willin to sell for 600 bucks but the motor has over 400,000 miles on. Still a very strong runnin car but has noises and other problems, and this car is a blast to drive and still pretty quick when ya get after it.. So i have two questions about it...first: I was wondering if it would be worth buying and maybe rebuildin the motor adding performance rebuilds to it...and Second: what would some sites be to go about doing that or even a stock rebuild for it. I am knew to bmw's, but i love this car and everyone i talk to love theres to so i want one just dont' wanna jump into something and end up costing me a lot of money for this older one, which i like the body style of...any help would be great..

motor is complete. with wiring harness, all you need is the ecu. motors dont come with them unfortunantly.
