Anyone owned one? Anything to look out for, and any general advice about them?

Cheers

I nearly brought a e90 m3 but running costs will kill me..
Thinks there's a guide in the EVO magazine on buying one

Loads of info over on the bimmer forum, never owned one. If you can find a good one service costs arent that expensive....still not convinced though

My mate had one. Fantastic hand built V8 :drool:

Drinks fuel though (11mpg) but sounded mint.

His was the exact one that Tiff Needel drove round a track on the YouTube video  :driver:
