I found this website useful for some trying to get factual information on this car. I’m thinking about buying a 95 or 96 M-3. I still have some questions that I thought you could answer.
1. Are there any major differences between the 1995 and 96 models?
2. What kind of maintenance can some expect with these cars? Is it more frequent and costly than a 3 series from the same year?
3. What kind of parts seems to fail in these model years?
4. Is there anyway to tell that some has driven the car hard mechanically especially in the engine?
5. Is there anything I should keep an eye open for when looking for them?

Most of the opionions of these cars seem to be very high except that they are expensive to maintain and require a considerable amount of time in the garage? I want a car with the performance characteristics of this car but I don’t want to be bothered with taking it the shop constantly.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
