I bought a mildly modified '99 M3 coupe with 58K miles in 2007. It was my first BMW and I did none of my own wrenching on that car (in hindsight I should have). Paid $12.5 for it in JAN07. Sold it for $12K in SEP 2012 with 142K miles. One of the best cars I've had. But it does require proper maintenance. Agree better to find a stock or near stock car. "Never tracked" means nothing. If a car is properly maintained, a few DEs won't kill it. Smart move in spending $100 or so to get a reputable shop to do a PPI. Maintenance records are a huge plus- but only with receipts. Once you get the car replace all fluids and take an oil sample and send it to Blackstone Labs. BTW, I easily put in $10K over 5 years. But that's still under $200/month. What can you buy/lease for $200/month???

I'm reminded of the words of my friendly BMW service manager...never buy a BMW the first year it's introduced and never buy a used M. Kinda stuck with me :)Seat Shocks....I have passed the baton to John Christy from Ninestitch. Email John or Garrett at ninestitch1@gmail.com
