Also, if you're concerned about overly complex cars being unreliable, why are you considering a used BMW?
The e92 M3 is overall fairly reliable car (minus some rod bearing issues). Maintenance is more expensive, which I'm fine with, but overall it's pretty reliable. I spent countless days researching that car.

I appreciate everyone's feedback!
