M3 E46 Reliability
Discussion
Hey all,
I've been looking through the classifieds and came across a few 60K ish M3s (E46). Now what sort of car is the M3 running cost and reliability wise? Is spending 15K on an M3 a foolish and expensive folly?
p.s
Don't let the boys over at the Lotus forum hear me talking about getting a beemer!

Ok, so what would you think is a fair price for a good example of an M3?
I had a Boxster S once and I know that porsche are supposed to be reliable but I ended up having to go to court to get back most of over 5K I had to spend on it to replace the gearbox! This was a car with a warranty too. I know most porsches have oil seal problems even from new and the 996s could be a bag of trouble.
What are the main problems to look for on the M3? And would you say they're more or less (un)reliable than a 996, Boxster or Elise?
