I used to do 25-30k a year in it and was still running sweet when I sold it ....
Also have an E91 with the n43, that’s up to 90k with just regular servicing being required.

Well that's a resounding positive!
Thank you for taking the time. I know too much reading on the internet magnifies any problem (apparently the shells on my M3 are about to imminently write the engine off) but on the other hand I only really know about M3s, so I'm completely green looking at the 4-pot petrols and diesels models.
Thanks for your input.
