I am looking to buy a 60,000 mile M3. I say a 96 or so. What problems should I look for in the car. Thanks for any help.

My '95 has 104K mi. When I got it at 94K mi, the compressions in each cylinder were like new. It has a tiny, tiny, oil leak at the front main seal which makes barely perceptible oil marks on the concrete. Otherwise, it has not had any problems. I had the water pump upgraded to a metal impeller type as preventative medicine. I absolutely LOVE this car. You should BUY one!
