Not bad cars at all. The engines simply do not ever wear out with proper care. Ever.
Trannies are hit or miss, my Uncle's 88 735iL is outside my shop at the moment needing a trans.. but the original lasted until 268k.
Watch for electrical gremlins and suspension wear, particularly upper control arm bushings. They can be shot and still look OK. Replace with 750 bushings..etc.
