Seems a lot of money for a six year old car.

There are some non track ones to be found.

Also quite a few of the track ones swap their suspension out, then put it back to stock to sell. The engine is pretty strong. The SMG gearbox is troublesome though.

I'd seriously consider one of these if it wasn't German
The fact that they have been ragged and over priced at that, if I was going to get one it would have been a standard E46 M3.

I wouldn't relish the prospect of potential high bills on what I percieve to be an old car.

Plus the fact they are German........oh hang on

If it's been looked after properly, one that's been ragged could easily be in better condition than a low mileage garage queen.

I like them. A lot.
