Go for a 128i for less headache. Don't get me wrong, I love my E46 M3. I love its timeless style and great handling. If problems keep coming up even with extended warranty, at 160,000km, I will get rid of it. All my friends/customers know I baby my E46 M3 a lot too. I've also heard a E46 M3 driver
Sometimes, we just have to face the reality: THE COST.
