owned an m3 evo for 4 years never had any problems with it.oil changed every 3-4 thousand mile,brake fluid, water,p/s fluid all checked regularly. serviced regularly (by myself) any major probs it went to the garage,only time it seen a garage was when i lost it going round a roundabout (or not) and ripped off the front spoiler. the car was an N reg Estoril Blue with 23,000 miles,sold it with 49,000 gen milage all receipts.would probably still have it if ralley6 and co had not talked me into a Scooby. still have some spares if anyone interested ie backbox, droplink, n/s foglamp
