BMW's aren't hard to repair, it's a car not a rocket ship. Your might need to take a few extra steps to get something done.

Some parts are more expensive than other parts but its whatever. Keep up with the maintenance and search on the m3 forums.

Personally I would def use an m3 as a DD. Comfortable cars, decent gas mileage, seems like a no brainer to me.

In any event, nice ride man!!!

P.S. Be careful most of the M forum members are dicks.

Mike: sad to see you got rid of the 8, but I can't fault you for going with your choice!

I really like the color!

GL w/her!

Lemme try to reverse-translate it after this butchering by Google (or whatever tool it was)

"So, you went and bought a BMW. Good, it's a nice change. Hope you'll enjoy the ride, Mike"

Not much of an upgrade, should've gone with a 2004 model and up in my opinion.

e46s are nice and all but not in my price range and i just think e30 and e36 m3s were more of a raw feeling and less of the new tech savy **** i think i upgraded in every way more power better gas milage and it still has a neutral handling just with real torque :]
