Just bought an e36 that sat for a year... what now?

Runs GREAT! 80k miles. Needs a bunch of interior work, but nothing major.

Now, what should i do to make it safe? What all should I replace. Here is my list as of now.

hoses
fluids
belts
fuel lines?

What else?

Be sure and check the brakes well too as they maybe in need of help. Include the rubber hoses as they can swell and will give you an indication of a sticking caliper when it is the hose.
I would drain all the fuel out too and put a new fuel filter in. Yes replace all the antifreeze including the block plug by the exhaust. Sounds like a good find....

Thanks!

I was considering doing all of that.

The one worry I have is that the SRS and ( O ) Lights are stuck in the on position.

Im not too sure what is going on with that. The ( O ) light seems to be the caliper sensor. It could be that, or i actually need a set of calipers.

It's a pad wear sensor, no such thing as caliper. You don't need new calipers, just pads/sensor. SRS light may be on if the battery was disconnected (probably was, if it sat for ~1 year)
