The E46 M3 seems to have the same issues when it reaches approx. 100k kms
1) Sub Frame - depends if car has been driven aggressively (i.e. burnouts)
2) SMG - hydraulic pump failure
3) Vanos Problems - the seals go and you have to replace the system for $2-4k
4) All Wear and Tear Parts - rotors, pads, bushings, clutch, need replacement
5) 80k Kms - inspection 2 which costs $2.5K
That's why it is worth spending $35K for a 05-06 M3 Vs $20K for a 02 M3 with high kms.
