I'm looking to join the BMW family by getting an E34. Looking at this car in really good condition with 113k miles. I have a couple of questions
- I see the oil leaks down the front and passenger side of the oil pan. The engine compartment was just cleaned and I couldn't get fully under the car for a good look. What might this be? Front engine seal?
- The owner said he has had to put in 1/2 quart of oil every 2500 miles since his ownership at 60k miles. He takes the car to BMW independents and he said they told him this is the way these engines are. Is this the case for you guys or should I suspect something more than this.
I'm getting the car checked out tomorrow before buying it so any knowledge would be helpful. Thanks
