Let me preface this by saying I looooved to drive my E46 M3. But finally got rid of it. (Bought it new). Tons of maintenance/repairs. Partial list:
- Xenon headlamp went out.
- Both window moldings came unglued.
- Passenger window wouldn't seal every time you shut the door. Had to lower and raise window--pain in the neck. This problem was never solved by BMW.
- Right door lock went defective.
- Rain sensing wipers defective.
- Driver side leather seat came unstitched.
- Sunroof cover broke (moonroof).
- Stereo not operable with rear defroster.
- Defective exterior temperature sensor.
Strangely, I never experienced the sub-frame problem. Maybe the next owner will...
I'll never buy another BMW outside of a warranty period. Had mine nearly 5 years, and drove it less than 8,000 miles per year.
