Bought in '13 with 50k, now with 83k.
Already done:
Wastegate Rattle (covered with new Turbos)
Water Pump (fun)
Carbon Cleaning (discounted when done with engine out for WG rattle)
Rear Struts
Spark Plugs (about to install second set)
Taillight Issue (went to LCIs)
Next:
Valve Cover Gasket (pretty sure I'm leaking a bit there)
Coils (misfire under WOT)
Battery (won't last a couple of minutes on ACC)
Tensioner / Belts (noise)
Bushings (going with Whiteline Inserts)
Afraid of:
Injectors
DME issue with early 07s
Belt shredding
I would've gone with the M if I knew all of these potential issues. Provided I did buy an early build 07, which was dumb. My insurance cost for an M3 would've offset some of these expenses. I'm not huge on power, and would've rather had the high revving NA motor with all of the suspension and LSD up to par already.
