Known issues for the E30 M3
- Rust. The guides' first check: rear shock towers, rear subframe mounts, floors, sills, boot, rear quarters, the cowl below the windscreen and around the sunroof. Hidden structural rust can cost more than the car is worth to repair. Affects E30 M3, 1986-1991..Likely
- S14 valve clearances and timing chain. The S14 has no hydraulic tappets: valve clearances need adjusting every 10,000 to 15,000 miles (the guides differ). It is an interference engine, so the timing chain and tensioner history matter. A compression and leak-down test is the usual check. Affects S14 engine, E30 M3..Likely
