Yeah, my friend is looking at them and that M235i now...heard a lot of horror stories with BMW being real flaky despite the rising number of incidents. Met a guy with an '09 out at RRT who was in to have the engine pulled and $10k leave his wallet...
I LOVE the S65 and 4 door E9x M3 so I'm in full support of the hunt for the unicorn and definitely agree finding one with the warranty remaining will be key. Problem is...the usual "be patient" mantra of the unicorn search is against you in this case.
