just been reading about a major problem with the m52 engine in the beemer 320, 323 and 328, somthing about the cylinder lining being damaged by sulpher content in fuel, requires the block to be changed! maybe time to reconsider??

Only M52 engine models before March 1998 are affected

Yeah, 1998 was the final year, so there may be very few with an engine from new, but some engines will have been replaced under warranty.

Just check if the block is an alloy or steel or see if its in the service history
