Good luck!

As long as the car does not have transmission lights showing, and it drives fine, you shouldn't have any problems. Just replace the gaskets and top-up the fluids after you get the car.  |
Thanks guys for the input. After thinking about it for the last couple days, I have decided to move forward and purchase the e92. I've already spoken with the seller and we managed to agree on a deal for the car. I realize that the sipping/leakage on the lower and side pan is common on DCT transmissions, but it should not keep me from owning one. I will of course monitor it through out my ownership and take any steps I need to take in order to avoid any major issues and to keep the car running strong. I appreciate your guys' opinions and I'm excited to finally be an e9x M3 owner. Thanks.
