Granted this is my first BMW purchase and I am still learning so much about this vehicle, I must say I am satisifed. I am sure that is just part of the initial experience w/ any new vehicle.

You can learn a ton at www.e46fanatics.com There are also some great reference points to other BMW enthusiast sites as well.

Good luck on your purchase and make sure you do your homework when buying used. I was lucky enough to purchase mine directly from the BMW dealer after a lawyer traded her's in for the exact same model, just a 2011. Every service record kept!
