Hankering for a M3 Touring

[MrBurt]

Folks, I have an itch to scratch and it’s a M car and the M3 Touring would fit my needs.
Last BM was a F31 340 that was faultless for 6 years, so I have a soft spot for the brand
My Defender is 2 years old, has 83% of its original value, so now feels a good time.
I have many question?
Reliability, running cost, servicing etc and what options are the ones to have and to steer clear of, not worth the price.
Looking at 6 month old one, a fair few about. Fancy a green one.
Advice recommendations etc gratefully received.

For the discounts available I would be buying new.

There’s little value in sub year old examples other than instant availability.

Base car before options can be had for less than 74k

Yes agreed. Drive the Deal or Tony Lewis would be the place to go. You are looking at 6 months though for an individual car in a nice green. Not a fan of the IOM green myself.

I have a G80 M3 and options are a personal preference. You'll want the Tech Pack as a minimum though.

For me, I would also have the Carbon interior and the Full leather.
