Well thanks for your reply. I can take jokes, but since I dont know you, I cant tell how much of it is a joke. I would love to come out with my S, but if I did, it would just cost me too much more $. Im not buying the M3 to be the fastest (like I would want with the S). Im buying it to have a nice daily driver. Im looking for an 04 M3 with less than 20k miles. That means I have until 09 or 50k miles before I will have to pay for anything (possibly including oil changes). By that time, I might already be moving onto another car. It is just a car that I dont have to worry about high maintenance fees until a few years down the road. Hopefully by then I will be making enough $ that I can step it up to a more exotic car.

The M3 I looked at was an 04( I think) with about 30k miles on it. It was going for 35k. I could have gotten it for around 31 or so, being that my brother worked at Carmax at the time.
This was a cool one too. No leather, base stereo, no sunroof. Pretty much a lightweight E46. Have you thought about leasing a newer BMW? It's free maintainence I believe. At least my dads was when he had one.
My next car is a C6 Z06. So, I'm slowly saving my pennies for that.

I want the top of the line M3 (nav, heated seats, sport package). Looking for one with less than 20k miles. I believe that they all have a 5 year/50k free maintenance policy. Well if youre referring to free oil changes and such, I am hoping to find that with the one I buy as well. 
We will meet once I have a decent car to drive to a meet.

Just so you guys know... There is no such thing as "free mantinance"... YOu are paying for it some where, As in; the average cost of mantinance for X # of years and or X # of miles has allready been added to the price of the car. and it means that the bank gets to make more $$$ off of you thanks to you financing the cars mantinance over the life of the loan.

That is just a thought about that. BTW Kevin (Name? LSHATCH?)....did you buy the motor already built and are dropping a new motor in it or are you putting all the parts of the stroker kit into your current motor?

Yes its spread out over time, but that also means your spending more... thats how fincancing works.
What I mean by that is though it may cost you $2K to do a brake job at that time... If you finance that $$$ over the life of the loan (depending on intrest rates) that Brake job may end up costing you $3K
