Hi!
I am contemplating the purchase of a 95 M3 here in Australia (euro-spec not usa-spec).
A couple of things I noticed on a test drive, I want to check if they are normal:
1) When suddenly coming off the throttle in any gear there is a lot of jerkiness which i am unsure indicates drivetrain looseness/fuel injection problem or whether this is normal for a car with such excellent throttle response.
2) There is noticable ticking coming from the top of the engine. I wasn't sure if this was the injectors and normal or whether this was valve lifters and an indication of wear or poor oil maintenance.
The car has travelled 130,000km.
Thanks.
