Is a pre-owned //M a good idea
I'm looking to get Z4 and have been looking at the 2006 3.0si but I can't seem to get the //M (2006) out of my mind . Being that the //M is a high performance car is it a good idea to buy one pre-owned. Also, besides the valve adjustments is there a big difference in maintenance cost between the 3.0si & the //M?

So when the huge value drop levels off ... the savings are being taken up by the expensive maintenance

An ///M is always a good idea in my opinion. Sure - maintanence can be pricey - but so are monthly car payments. There are advantages as well as disadvantages to having a monthly payment....
My Infiniti is paid off and it does not give me any trouble. Even if I have to pay 2-4K/year for something - it is still cheaper than a car payment.
