Default 1988-1991 BMW 325xi - Looking for opinions

I am interested in purchasing a 1989 325xi that obviously needs a little TLC. I'm not worried about any work that needs to be done, as I have until it starts snowing before I need to worry about using the car. My concern is once I get this thing running and looking in top shape, will it be a good car to me? How did BMW do with the AWD system on this thing? Electronic problems to look out for? Things to check for that are common BMW things, ect.

It's primary use will be long distance snowboarding trips so I'm trying to find a cheap, reliable AWD car that I can fix up. Plus I kinda have a thing for E30's.

Thanks for looking!
