POLL: Have you ever had major issues with your M3?

01 with 82k miles on it

i had to replace a wheel bearing, but that was from all the autocross i did in the past.

other than that, i'll need to replace the high pressure power steering hose soon as its leaking (and is on the vast majority of the cars on this forum, whether or not people know it)...but its a maintenance item imo

also gonna replace the cpv (preventative maintenance) and motor mounts soon

Mine had experienced zero major issues at 26.5k when I sold it.

06 , 55K miles.

22K, 1st gear failed to synchronize, 55K, Vanos failure. It's still at the dealership and I can't wait to get it back. Wouldn't trade it for anything!
