[QUOTE="suaveflooder, post: 11773718, member: 43389"] HA, yeah, about 8 moths late sadly. Advice to you, get an E9X if you can swing it. E46's are AMAZING cars, but have a lot of problems in the engineering department. -Subframe mounts crack and cost A LOT to replace -Diff bolts back out and brake -Vanos system (timing system) has a couple fail points. Both have the potential to grenade your engine sadly and if they don't, the hub (this broke on mine) costs $1000 for the part alone. Usually when the hub goes, it take the vanos unit with it and that's another $1200 -Oil changes are $100 if you do it yourself -maintenance is around $2000 a year if nothing goes wrong. I LOVED my M3 and I will probably get an E90 (V8 and 4 door) when I finish paying off the cobra. Sadly, the E46 just wasn't worth the $$ to me. Every car will have it's problems, but the E46 seemed to be plagued with them [/QUOTE]
