contemplating on an smg e46 m3?

My brother is planning to get rid of his 2005 e46 smg m3. Charcoal grey, immaculate condition, 57xxx miles, stage 2 dinan? With 2 and a half year extended warranty left. He wants 23k for it, which is the pay off. First owner traded it in for an x5, so he is the second owner. All maintenance done. good buy?

My initial plan was to keep driving the 250 til i save up enough down for a used 10' or higher isf. But its also 2x the price. So i need CL help. Thanks.

I'd avoid any smg equipped e46. loads of documented problems. 6mt is the only way to go
