Currently scouting round for a replacement for my slightly knackered E46 BMW.

I have looked a couple of RX8’s however I don’t know what potential trouble spots I should look out for with the engine.

How complex is it compared to a normal engine & what, if anything, needs to be done on a regular basis to ensure that the engine doesn’t break.

Stupid question i know however I need to know what I should look out for.


Thank you.

Watched the video but it doesn’t give me too much info as to what I should be wary of.

Low compression was mentioned - how do i check this & how do i know if the car is ok or knackered?

What are ‘cold start issues?’

What different maintenance is required day to day?

I’m guessing that buying an RX8 privately is probably not the best thing to do.
