So In the new year I’ll need to replace my trusty mk6 golf…
I’ve ALWAYS wanted an M3 since I was a kid… there are some real nice e92 examples in my budget with 59-60k on the clock. However… there are also some e46’s around for similar price but with mileage closer 100 even 110k mileage, there are a couple with mileage around 80k but they are scarce.
How stupid am I being looking at these sorts of things? Would even the e9X models with around 60k miles be approaching problem time? Or are those engines pretty bomb proof?
Feedback greatly appreciated!
I’ve been looking for an M car myself. I quickly discounted the e92 M3 because of the engine issues. The e43 M3 was also a contender but the horror stories about rust, cracked rear subframe and rod bearings scared me off.
That’s what lead me to the f82 M4 comp. And I’ve been looking for the right one ever since.
