It's under warranty and will be the entire time I own it. Much like my IS350 was which spent some time in the shop itself. Most E9x M3 owners I asked told me they have had little to no issues and their reliability rating on most sites is quite good.

I would have bought an IS-F if they offered a 6MT.

dmk08 nice pick up and dont worry about maintence. I myself had and 02 M3 with no issues and just oil changes were the only time it seen the dealer. My is350 been in more times for tbs,recalls then my M3 for oil changes LoL. Plus i drove my friends ISF it isnt all that. Bimmer still has a better ride to it and build not to rattle like a bean in a can hahaha.....
