e30 parts are cheap. I would make sure the AC works and the tranny shifts smoothly. Also test drive and check for loose steering feel. like moving the wheel 2-3 inches = no movement or handly any movement of the front wheels. that means the ball joints and or the control arm is shot and need to be replaced.
you can swap out the control arms and ish in about 2 hours for both side for about $100 or less in parts.
I'm doing mine sometime in the near future.

mine is a 2.5L 168hp engine
yours is a 2.7L 128hp engine.
on the freeway the 325e should get about 35mpg at steady 75
