Help please...M3

[cammy]

I am about to buy a second hand M3 imminently i.e. end of the month, a 2002 model. A need a more subtle car for my work (i currently have a cerbera), and space for my 7 month old boy but still serious oomph. I would appreciate some info from you guys regarding common faults, things to look for, general cost of servicing (hidden costs) and comments on manual or SMG.

All comments will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
