Would a car with Nikasil block still be an issue?
Discussion
I read mixed things about Nikasil engine car and if they are still an issue.
Some seem to say that "if an individual car was going to have had problems, it would have happened by now"
Others say "Can happy any time, any mileage"
I currently living in South Australia and its really hard to find a nice E36 here - REALLY HARD.
They either have s
t service history, star ship kilometres or they are tatty (interiors don't fare well here). Or in most cases they suffer from all the previous combined!!!
However, I have found a lovely 1996 Montreal Blue 328i Coupe, with full light silver grey (sports) leather interior. It has covered 185.00KM but has a fabulous service history, and you can tell from the cars condition that it has been cherished. It is not a sport (as we know them in the UK) It lacks the m-Tech bodykit and black headlining but is fitted with the 17" BBS wheels, sports seats, LSD and factory M3 mirrors.
So tempted to buy the car and source an M-tech kit for it BUT it does have a Nikasil block - it runs fine, idles smoothly etc.
What's the general opinion?
