I've had three K series before and have been well pleased with them. Only one had HGF (spotted early before any major damage occured) and that was repaired very quickly and cheaply and has given both myself and the current owner continued good service.

pleased for you i really am.the bmw engine if looked after it as good as any i have come across.but like every thing else there are good and bad as with your k series engined car enjoy.ps i am posting this as a BALANCED view as belive me these types of threads are prone to turning into a mud slinging matches.we all drive a 75 and no matter which engine your car has enjoy driving it. as long as you are happy with thats all that matters.
