How are you finding it compared to the M5 for that sort of mileage?
Hi Neil,

It's OK not as motorway friendly as the M5 the interior is laughable compared to my M5 but I enjoy the cross country bits at either end of the long commute.

I used to love sitting back in the M multifunction seats with all that nappa and carbon, fantastic place to be and you sat in the M5 you sit on the M3.

I'm thinking it's time to change again but not sure what to look at.

1990 E30 M3 112k miles.

I've just had the original s14/2.3 fully rebuilt, including H section rods, CP pistons, Schrick cams, lighter flywheel, new clutch etc. It needed new chain, guides, tensioner etc but they'd lasted pretty well considering.

Whilst not quite a daily driver, I do use my M3 as much as I can. Early morning runs down the coast roads in the summer months and Sainsbury's shopping runs. I guess I do about 5 or 6k miles p.a.

It's been off the road for 6 months now though, so I need to make up for lost time! I'm not too concerned about mileage and the potential impact on value. The same applies re modification, which I'm told by some, has ruined my car. I bought it to drive and enjoy, not as an investment.

E39 M5 134.5k

Looks like the alternator failed during the winter hibernation, so in the process of seeking a rebuild or recon unit.
