Hi all.
I'm currently looking for an E46 M3. There seems to be quite a range of cars available with varying specs. There are the fully loaded cars in silver/black with black/grey leather but with milages over 70k and then there are the cars with low miles but missing satnav/19" wheels or with red leather interior. I've not seen the red leather in real life, but from the pics it looks very red.
I want titanium silver, and test drove a lovely example at the weekend - silver with full black leather, 19" wheels, SMG 'box & Nav/TV - but it was a bit too pricey for me at £26k.
I've found two similar cars but with slightly different specs:
This one has everything but the satnav/tv (not a huge problem as I have a TomTom) and this one has nav, but also has the red leather interior.
When it comes to resale time, what's going to make it easier to shift, a respectable colour interior or factory fit satnav? I have to admit, the silver/red combo is growing on me the more I look at it, it would make it harder to sell though, right?

Out of interest, is there any reason why I should avoid a car with 70k miles?
Is there anything that goes wrong around then, or a monster service due at 80k or something?
I'd expect an M3 to do that sort of milage without breaking a sweat, but when there are examples out there with less than 40k miles for not much more money it seems foolish to get a high miler.
