Any suggestions for possible new owner?

Hi everybody, I'm in the UK and tomorrow going to look at a 1989 530 SE. The car has done 190000 miles, converted to LPG at 100000 miles. It is for sale for £750.00.

What should I look out for?

Thanks

You want us to guess...Ok the car will have the m30 in 3 litre capacity.It will prolly be overdue for a complete service,or what we would call an inpection II.
Other things will prolly be new front suspension bushes ,and the cooling system may require new parts,ie hoses,and water pump.
Have a look here (http://www.bmwe34.net/e34main/trouble/what_will_break.htm).Dont be dismayed by that list,it wount happen all at once.Add that website to your favourites,buy a bentley manual and join in!

lol, everything.
How does an lpg conversion influence performance?

The usual list is check for repair receipts, history records to see how it's been maintained.
