E36 3.0 M3 Fuel consumption and running faults?

[CPC]

I am going to view a M3 tomorrow. But firstly i keep reading horror stories about expensive repairs?? im told the 3.0 Ltr model is more reliable?

What goes wrong other than waer and tear items?

Also realistically what sort of MPG will i be looking at under normal driving.

Any help or info welcome

thanks chris

used to get just under 300 miles to the tank with conservative driving, lower suspension a frames, rear bushes (better replaced with poly bushes)
power steering pipes failed on mine
mine had 137k on the clock and was still going strong when i sold her
