RE: E92 335i / Late E46 M3 possibly..
It's simple Gar :D 335i coupe/vert with 60k miles or less and iDrive (sport suspension and seats are standard - I won't buy a car that had them deleted as don't want 4x4 suspension or shitty SE seats) I have 15k to have the car on the road in Ireland.
I won't buy an old car or a high mileage car - I DON'T WANT TO DO ANY MAINTENANCE ANY TIME SOON! That's the whole point! :P

No guarantee at all that you'll see trouble free motoring below 60k miles though!
If you buy an old 335i it's going to cost money, simple as really I'd say! ;)

What a sexy car!
The problem:
13995 GBP = 17769.60 Euro
+ VRT 8595 Euro
http://i1350.photobucket.com/albums/...psca8be9b2.png
+ A year's tax 1250
= 27,614.60 Euro on the road in Ireland
27,614.60 > 15,000 :D

That's where a warranty would come in Don.
Even outside of warranty if one or two things go it's to be expected but I don't want something I'll need to basically get someone to rebuild like the e36.

You can't factor in road tax to your purchase price though...you'd have to pay that in any event

Maintenance free motoring doesn't exist unless you buy an electric moped or something.
I might sit tight till January to see if anything comes up Ger, if people trade in or something. UK doesn't seem to be an option right now.
Don't get me wrong I don't want to get a car I can neglect, just something that will be reasonably reliable.
