2. bent valve stems
3. some E93s had roof issues
4. some emission sensor issues

So at the end of the day, you still overpaid for the M3, at $42k without extended, it's about $2k-$3k more given the miles. But others have noted, E93s are more expensive, but shouldn't be that much more, and you are in the California market.

your original post is confusing, you should strip out all the line items, taxes, CPO&maintenace charge, other fees to make it comparable.
Actually E93s sell for less than the E92 in the used market. E93s are less desirable.

The maintenance plan should not cost $3400. I was quoted around $1700 or so for maintenance plan and even at that price it is not worth it. They'll do a couple of oil changes and change the spark plugs within 2 years.
