Based on the brief description, I will say that is too much. A $2500 E12 should be in good shape: paint, interior, and not too much mechanical work needed. Unless it has a $1500 stereo system...
For price reference check: www.traderonline.com or www.recycler.com , there's always a few advertised there.
178K miles... it's gotta be getting tired. Just my opinion.
