Most of the ones I've seen also seem to run on the hot side. You can modify the fan clutch to make them run cooler. Parts prices can be bad compared to the E320 cars. You're probably looking at a $9,500 car.

Most of the ones I've seen also seem to run on the hot side. You can modify the fan clutch to make them run cooler. Timing chains can also wear on these engines so I would have the chain checked for wear. Parts prices can be bad compared to the E320 cars. You're probably looking at a $9,500 car. What are your bimmers worth? You might buy the Mercedes E Class Owners Bible by Stu Ritter. It will give you some good pointers on these cars. I have an old 325i worth 2500 I will trade it plus 5500 for e420 merc |
