Dunno only owned 1 M and that was my Z4MR. Best car I ever owned. It was already like 5 or 6 years old when I bought it. Was in great condition. Owned it longer than any other car like 5 years and apart from the alternator going bad right around the time I sold it and the soft top motor going bad (which was kinda my fault for not knowing it was a known issues and keeping drains clean) I had no problems. I did regular maintenance and was my daily driver at the time.

I remember when I sold it I calculated what it cost me to drive the car for those 5 years and I believe when you accounted for repairs etc it ended up being around $100/mo. Now that's not the norm because the Z4M held it's value very well but still. I would probably not buy a newer M car without a warranty... but then I probably wouldn't buy a newer M car period.
