Watch this before you buy an e92 M3, and then buy one anyway!

It's been two years since I made the decision to buy the M3 and I'm here to tell you all about the maintenance and repair costs associated with a car like this. And I'll tell you right now, it's not cheap. But the best way to cope with the cost of ownership is to enjoy the car. Just drive it. I'll post links to all the parts I've used soon.

    Man, the "old BMW" dilemna... Save some money and buy a used BMW, then pay thousands to get it up to spec, OR... Spend thousands more for a lower mileage example! (I guess this is why buying a well-cared for high mileage BMW is a better idea, or just buying a low-mileage Corvette for the same money, we know what I did!) In any case, it's nice for prospective owners to know what they're in for with these M3s.

    Yeah, even though I had a stack of service records from the previous owner, I still ended up with plenty of maintenance. I’m always questioning my decision to buy the M3 over a C6. I think even a higher mileage c6 would’ve cost me less in maintenance.

    Enjoying your content. Have you done anything with the iDrive? I have CIC and am considering a Mr12volt CarPlay unit. Getting my valve covers next, NRW in yellow 😅. Are you in socal? Yes it is worth it, to me! Smiles per gallon 😂 mine is: 2011 E93 Alpine with extended Fox red 😁

    Yep, one of the many (kind of) e9x M3s running around SoCal. I’ve definitely looked into putting a CarPlay unit in but I have other plans for this car that I’ll discuss in a video soon. NRW valve covers are awesome, yellow will look great too, a nice little pop of color in an otherwise dark engine bay. Also, I’m a bit jealous of the fox red interior, haha.
