Overbuilt yes, but they have failure points. Also good luck changing spark plugs on these, you need to be a yoga master to reach the rear bank.

The car has an oil leak, hence the reduced price. Seller noticed it after putting it to storage.

Prob minor - if I had the disposable cash this would be in my possession right now. All these price drops are doing is making it a more attractive “investment”. I can fix an oil leak - I can’t easily source that interior.

That said if you do it yourself, it's doable.. just a bitch for the last two things.
Keep in mind that this car does not have rod bearings done to it (you should do that and CPV). VANOS is not done so take that into consideration too. Needs a besian rebuild kit. Granted these two things, it's very rare to find a car that had all of the Big 3 done to it. Mine did, but that's an exception and mine wasn't perfect either.
The Turner subframe reinforcement plates are okay. Just ok. It needs a vincebar and x brace for it to actually be bulletproof. The Turner plate is to do it so you can say you did it. I wouldn't have done Turner plates and I would have just gotten the more expensive option. At least it's not epoxy, people won't weld on that.
ISC coilovers are like the new BCRacing coils. They're good cause they're cheap and they offer decent performance for the price.
I didn't edit this to shit on the guys car. Just tryna provide knowledge. I'm of the opinion that the quality of mods put on a car reflects how much the owner cares about their car. An example of this is that I wouldn't buy a car that had rep/fake parts put on it or eBay parts for important things. Or I wouldn't buy a car with tires that are cheap Chinese shit.

Oil leak he said looks like CPV which is common. Clearly this thread has confirmed that you can expect a bmw to leak from somewhere at some point

Did he change the exhaust to a larger single exit tip???
I know he said the stock exhaust is included... but why mess with one of the most recognizable features of that car?

But also his car, his choices. But there shouldn't be an expectation that other people will like his choices.
