About 5 of my friends. Leased and Owned, with 2 of them supercharge. Almost all of them have been to tracks at least 6x a year, never had any problems.

Now my problem is warranty 60k miles vs 100k miles, 40k miles is A LOT

^get low mileage one then. I actually like the e92 M3 because it's NA v8. The styling is still relevant imo. The M4 might be unreliable with time.

I have experience with an 09... went from ~70000km to 130000km and we had to fix everything. Only thing that wasn't changed was the engine block and pistons.

Mind you the m3 is NA so it's a different beast. I'd definitely shy away from a used turbo BMW.

Totally agree... BMW has an oil change guide at 15000 km... I questioned the crap out of that everytime. Remember what they say about BMW owners and porccupines... take that into consideration when buying it.

And change the spoiler, side skirts and rear bumper to the previous NISMO

I still want a 370z but $45,000 for a nismo? The new gt mustang 5.0 is $38,0000 and the 370z cannot beat it In a straight line or out handle it stock for stock. Nismo is overpriced
