this was a an excellent write up, thank you for spending the time to detail a lot of the maintenance issues in our touchy but wonderful cars

I will certainly use your information to preemptively service my "little bit too perfect" 1999 E36 M3 that I am waiting on to give me a problem, but doesnt seem to want to!
(i love it to death)

Thanks again for the write up... ///M-Power!

Thank you Nick for the info. I have seen your vids on youtube and are helping me make an informed decision in purchasing a beautiful 99 silver m3. I am coming from a 91 honda crx that I've had for 9 years with almost NO maintenance. So your write up scared and inspired me into gaining the correct perspective to take on this car. The car is in a pre-purchase inspection now, and I went through all the parts I want checked with the mechanic. Will let you know how it goes, I'm hopeful!
