pitfalls at buying E36 M3 Evo ??

[TuxMan]

just started looking for one of these and could do with a bit of advise from the pistonhead massive !!! do they suffer from the same vanos issues as the m-roadster ? is it the same S50 motor ?
What else do i need to look for ??

There is a very nice blue one on pistonheads classified with 78k on the clock for 9 grand is that the right price ?? thanks for all your help . simon

Thanks guys ,we have a M-roadster at the moment which is the wifeis car and i fancy one of these for myself !!

did i read somewhere there was a issue with bottom end shells ?? not to worried about the Vanos as i know what to look for ,

one thing i don,t like with the roadster is the very long clutch are the evo's the same ??

What do they go like as well ???

Yep done the braided hose mod to the m-roadster but i do find the travel to be very long ,makes the gearchange a bit awkward imo .

i do love the way the roadster goes though !!!

What do you guys think to this one ??

Thanks Dan for your input ,what does the clock symbol mean ? i thought the 3 green lights means its got a while to go before it needs a service .

i liked the way he has taken his photo,s tried to show the panels and how good they are ,not sure about the KN filter though ?? is that std ??

thats very odd just found the same car for £7800 in a different add
