Ok, new here, please don't shoot me if I am not finding the right FAQ, post or whatever... just a little advice is all I need.
I'm an ex Porsche guy, looking for a new ride. I found a very nice looking 1997 E36 M3 that looks perfect for double duty as family caravan and autocross fun ride...
The problem is that is has 160,000 miles ... what do I need to ask the dealer before I fork over the cash? They haven't performed a leak down or compression check which worries me. And the last thing that I want to do is trade my reliable ride (an F250 truck) for a super expensive high maintenance nightmare.
What goes wrong on these beasts?
