e46 M3 purchase advise

[mik15]

if you're buying an M3 or any other M you should know it comes along with the long bills, even though it's a 10 years old car the spare parts are still expensive so 10-15k(only a set of Michelin is over 5k) should be a piece of cake on a long term ownership, e.g. 1-2 years, especially since it's really hard to find a proper M3 E46 in the UAE, there were 1 or 2 on Dubizzle but then again so were the prices, close to 100k, which even though it might be too high for this market it's kind of close considering the presumably pristine condition and low mileage, according to their owners, if i am not mistaken one is still for sale here on the forum...but i would rather pay more for a '04/'05 model with FSH than for a '01 model which had a front collision too...
