Garage List
Being an M3, I could take it for a spin... Seriously however, there was a guy who checked over our 320 when we sold it. He came around and did a really thorough job.
Does it have any warranty left?

Thanks Skidz
Was in a bad place for a while but am slowly recovering and am happy again
The seller has notified me no major damage only a few minor scratches, warranty until March 2014 and Full BMW service history
Looking good so far

I was doing a bit of research on the M3 a while ago, when i was thinking of getting out of the 335 and the only thing i can recall needing to look at was the main or rod bearings and BMW had a revised part sometime in 2010. otherwise for my money the AA SC was looking pretty good

I'm in SA- won't be able to take your car in for a pre-purchase but I guess I can recommend my mechanic if you're interested.
