[QUOTE=nyc_dude;22993088]"...IMHO Don't buy a 2008 //M3. The e9x //M3 cars were a mid-year replacement starting in about the spring of 2008. They were pre-LCI cars with the old iDrive/Nav. But it was the first introduction of the S-65 V8 which made them unreliable. BMW doesnt have a great reputation for designing and building rock solid V-8s. I think the //M3 S-65 V8s were hand built. So the first year saw many bad engines...Also avoid the DCT, since if it fails = $15,000..."


Good information, thank you.

Where are all of the 2008 M3 owners?!

Jump in here and defend the first year of the

mighty E9x M3!!
