I think with proper maintenance and care the N54 can be as reliable as any other M motor. I think the N54 gets a bad rap from the cheap group with the 335's.

Deep down, what do you really desire to own? an E9X M3 or a rare 1 Series M?
However, nothing is stopping you from buying a cheaper E90 M3 and getting is resprayed and done in a way special to you.
If I had the funds, I would respray my E90 and get the interior redone to a different colour.

Quite honestly, I have owned many cars and the E90 was special to me because of the sound, the way it handled, and I love the look. BUT, I have never owned a 1M and from what I hear, it's just an overall amazing car. To me, either would be nice and both would be special to me.
I just wanted others peoples comments to see if anyone had made the direct swap from an E9x to a 1M.
