Flame suit on if needed.....

08' E92 M3 88,000 Miles
Noticeable problems so far:
1. Never been able to save XM station presets ( I save, then back out and then they are gone when I come back)
2. Seat belt helper (When the car is happy it gives it to me, when its mad, it says FU!) When its freezing cold outside, the helper might not even come out.
3. My passenger mirror all of the sudden throws itself out of whack and I have to reset it to a normal viewing position.
4. The ski bag holder clips are broke so now it never stays in the seat like it should. (was like that when I bought it used)
5. A bit of scuff marks by the IDrive knob on the plastic center console (was like that when I bought it, have since bought a new one and wrapped in carbon fiber to match the carbon fiber trim, looks much better!)
6. Slight wear on my upper part of my steering wheel on the backside of it
All this stuff is very minimal in my opinion. The most annoying thing the passenger mirror going crazy. Other than that I can live with the rest. Nothing mechanical, transmission, or brake wise has gone wrong. Very solid for how many miles are on it.
