Hello folks I'm new here
Just about bought a b3.2 e36 switch tronic, she's been sat for two years solid so will be s project for me! What should I look out for before finalising deal?.

Thanks guys, believe its number 46
Suspension I assume to be buggered along with brakes will be seized. rust? cills? rear arches are after some attention too... it may go for an inspection II and mot fail for a starter then, also has a broken rear spoiler and wheels need re-furb likely new tyres
