First off i want to just make clear that when i bought this car back in 2000, it was a brand new car so any mdel that you my purchase now may not have the reliablility as a new car.
However that said it is a brilliant car, I have driven about 40+ cars and owned a about 12+ sports cars among others. But my favourite remains to be the 3 series both the coupe and the saloon are a pleasure to drive with an exciting ride and reliablility.
What i do have to say that there is a known fault where the yellow emu (engine management unit) tends to display a fault which cost me around 1,500 w/servicing.
Other than that it was a fantastic car which i loved and was a real head turner, proberly less so now.
The advantage of buying one now is that you can get a cracking car at a cracking price with convertibles starting at aroun £6-7k.

Advantages: Fair price, electric roof, leather interior, CD player and, of course 'blindingly rapid'. Disadvantages: Quite expensive parts, can tend to guzzle petrol depending on the speed.
