the water pumps last a long time though. it was just anecdotal but 100k didn't seem out of the ordinary.

I made this mistake a few years ago. I graduated from Engineering school and thought I was the bomb.com. I settled on a 2002 M3 SMG, awesome car! Still one of my favorite cars I have ever owned but hot dam is the maintenance expensive. I was dumping hundreds in parts every month but that’s not the worst part. These cars have "land mine" problems. The differentials fail constantly and are $3,000 to replace(and no the reg e46 diff won't work), the SMG pumps fail ($4,000), the water pumps fail ($500), etc etc. They are very expensive cars to own if you want to drive them aggressively. If your not convinced yet take a look at how many bushings they have in the rear.
I'm going to buy another one soon but only because I make bad decisions.

You guys must not have very many female friends or don't know many females.
