I would wager the biggest and potentially hidden issue in buying a used F8x is heavy modding by the prior owner(s); cranking up boost, downpipes, etc, that is all removed prior to being sold. Nothing like dealing with a higher mileage engine that's been boosted near death in its early life....not to mention clutches, driveline, etc, also. Also note that the first thing to do when considering an F8x that is still under the factory is to contact BMW to ensure the car hasn't been warranty flagged -- many apparently have been.
