Looking to buy my first M3

[RJELLISUK]

Hi all,

I am looking to get my first F80 M3. I will be looking for an approved used.
I was wondering what to look out for and what options are must haves and what arnt.
Also your opinion on the m perf exhaust over a Remus or milltek.

Cheers

Spec is a personal think but I like:

Full leather
HUD
HK

The M Performance exhausts are know to crack so watch out for that. At their price (£3k+) I think that's inexcusable.

The Remus sounds fantastic but the PCW exhaust mod (take a look on eBay) is very nice too - mines booked in for this shortly.

Im considering this please pop some clips after pal.

Spec is key, but just make sure major service is done if mileage 35-36k or its an easy grand if you buy one with that approaching.

Warrantied car is ideal.

Get all the history jotted down. Its not always on idrive, i called the service hotline then chased garages up on what was carried out.

If mileages dont stack up dont buy, as there are cars with mileage blockers about (which i had found out to my cost with an F10 M5).

Hope that helps, also M3 is a great choice. Flaring Rear arches really help the car look menacing.

Question is really budget and financing options available? Then you can work out what’s going to fit your bill.
