I was shocked when I read this.

German car magazine AMS reports in their latest issue that at least 50% of the produced M3 engines have serious problems and have to be fixed. Customers will get (or already got) a notification in the near future.

Haven't heard anything about this, and I own one. There was a lot of trouble with late 2001/early 2002 production some time ago, but I haven't heard of engine problems for probably a year now. Scary development for BMW and us owners if it is true.

I have some info on the '05 M3, that I will post later.
C-class people? You're about to become a 3-series person, which is more or less the same thing. In California, we have M3's lining the roads. I can understand if the young people annoy you, but there are CL owners in San Diego that show up like they came from the beach (t-shirt, sandles, shorts) and they are actually nice people. Character makes the class, not the money.

In Europe Mercedes has quite a long tradition as a taxi supplier because of their reputation in durability and diesel technology - something that is going down the drain right now.

I think it is subconcious, the TT-S Cab came to 170k after options and tax, and sometimes I go to places that I just don't feel comfortable driving that to.
