Buying E92 M3 help.

[James909]

Hi, i viewed an e92 m3 today an need some second opinions/advice on the condition of the engine bay generally.

The car is a 2011(11 reg) coupe E92 M3 and has 65k mile, 2 owner from new. Generally the car exterior and interior are in great condition and no complaints, everything here seemed fine.

The engine bay however was very dirty and had a couple of issues,

First; Power steering reservior was very oily and looks like it has overflowed at some point or has an ongoing leak. Could this have been tracked hard?

Secondly; The valve cover has oil around the gasket. This is as im aware a common issue, but seems quite excessive compared to others i have viewed.

Its a trade dealer who has had the car for around 7 months. Anyone have any advice on this or should i give it a pass?







Any views would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
