Then you get rod bearings and throttle body issues with both. | How is the DCT on the M3 in terms of reliability and driveablity ?

best daily i've had and reliable thus far
DCT on the E9X series - def need the CSL reflash - makes shift much smoother and faster
i got my e90 m3 used and prev owner already flashed it so its been really good
as for rod bearing issues - run a thinner oil than the factory 10w60 (ive been running 5w40 since day 1 ownership)

Now that they are getting into the "oh fuck what do you mean I have to maintain the car" age for their second owners, lots are going to flood the market, and need plenty of love. Their low prices will drop even the nice ones coming up soon.
The next couple of years will be a great time to buy. That said, even if they were cheaper than the e46 I'd still rather an e46 if its supposed to be the "fun" car.

I love the e90 exhaust note, but there's just something about the e46 that I love more.

Never heard of a DCT failure, just don’t be doing WOT from a complete standstill, get it moving a bit first. After owning a E92 DCT with the Euro/GTS/CSL whatever you want to call it flash and more recently a 6MT E90, I’d go with a DCT if I ever buy one again. It’s a much better transmission suited to the S65 engine. I’d love to pick up a S/C’d E90 DCT if I ever get rid of this pesky mgt.

Ironically, I just saw a S Type R for auction. S/C 4.2L 400hp/400tq. Did some research and am staying away.
Wouldn't touch a 3L, even if it were free.

| 06 Forester XT 6SPD Manual - $10,900 - 100xxxkm 
Little bit on the pricy end, but last year of the greatest foresters. Low kms tho, and its rare just because its an XT. 2007 Honda Fit Sport - $3,900 - 156,600 km 
I previously kept seeing these for about $7K, this is a pretty low price in comparison

| 2012 Mercedes Benz CLS63 AMG 26000km - $45000
Forgot how bad amg depreciates. How bad are these cars? The later 6.2 supposed to be reliableish, they probably have air suspension issues too I'll assume
