re: BMW M3

My wife has a couple of 330i cars. The engines run great, its the auxiliaries that become an issue at the 75,000 mark. All of the oil filter housings, coolers, thermostats, water pump assemblies mount to the side of the engine block sealed with o-rings. The o-rings leak after they get brittle from heat over the years and or miles on the car. Some of the housings are plastic and can and do crack requiring replacement of those as well, These days aftermarket parts that are good quality can be found for prices comparable to US made cars. If you're handy with wrenches and can do your own oil changes and such, go for it. They're good cars, just expensive if you're not handy with a wrench.

I always wanted one in Fire Orange.

Bc they have full rides to college and work. I provide 1 nice car to start college and it yours when you graduate. She got a junker to start out in - Camry that has 250,000 miles and looks rough. She never complained.

This is a troll, right? No fricking way I'd give 17 year old an M3.

I wouldn’t trust any teenager with an M3. It will end up wrapped around a tree.

Not gonna lie, this is the subtlest of brags. Good job!

The engines are bulletproof, but that's a lot of power to give a young driver coming from a Toyota.

They are one of the absolutely safest cars you can buy, and are a Top Safety Pick by IIHS.

Check the VIN through a BMW dealership to determine service history.
Look carefully for paintwork and/or accident history.
