There was a time when the BMW 3 Series was an aspirational car for the young executive. Successful because they were reasonably well put together and sported a German badge, soon enough 2nd hand examples would likewise become popular - and none more so than the iconic M3. These days both E36 and E46's are pretty cheap used cars - but are they worth the hassle? And, for around the same money that an E46 commands, you can find similar condition but newer E90's. So the question is, which model would the mechanic buy? I took the opportunity to interview my own mechanic to see what he thinks, given he has been working on BMW's for 30 odd years. He has seen them all - and knows what to look for when buying one on the second hand market.
