[QUOTE="NKTOB, post: 490197, member: 2762"] Thanx, it's just a normal M3 not like some souped up Ms out there :) There's no better time than now to own one as the pricing of them are more affordable compared with a couple years ago. M cars are built significantly tougher and their parts don't really wears out as often as normal road going cars. However, they do conform to the usual wear & tear replacement issues. Generally, it's not really an expensive car to own. There are common parts that are shared with their other BMW siblings, so these parts should come relative cheap. Only parts like lower arm, fuel pump etc are some of the items that are not shared. So, if one would pick up an M3 in the used market today make sure these hard to come by items have or already been changed by the previous owner. Otherwise, don't take chances (avoid breaking down) get them changed (as per manual/KMs lifespan) as these parts are not stock by many shops. E.g. if you have a fuel pump failure, it might take weeks/month for it to be delivered. Best is, take the car for a complete visual inspection & diagnose for any wear & tear or fault/error that might appear on the system. Items like brake rotors and pads are some of the items you should oso take note of. The S54 engine is built tough, unless it's been wrongly maintained or abused it should not coz much problem. I;ve read some of them have travelled more than 300K kms and still running strong. You can read more from M3forum.net or from the Maddrussian guy. Road tax is approx RM3.2K. Insurance depends on the amount insured and your prevailing NCDs. This is a very addictive car, it wants you to drive it fast. Hence, FC could play a major part here. Good luck hunting! [/QUOTE]
