Still, I would be skeptical of buying a used M3 with more than a couple fuel cut-offs registered in the hard drive as, to me, it indicates a poor-driving pattern. Say you had a 2009 M3 with 799 fuel cut-offs...
It could be the guy ran it all the way up in 2nd gear getting onto the freeway every morning on his drive to work (after the car was warmed up). That wouldn't bother me at all.
