I picked up an '06 M35 Sport. Local owner, well maintained at the dealer (with a strong track record of every service done!). This is my second M. I was an early adopter in the summer of 2005 and paid cash for a black/bourbon with every option... basically it was a Premium without the sun shade & rear seat controls. This time around I was considering a Maserati for the prestige & raw horsepower advantage, but did not feel comfortable with clutch wear anticipated in daily stop & go commuting (yes, I was looking at a Duo Select).
The only modification on my radar is to lower the vehicle tastefully (if I can find lowering springs which don't stiffen the ride) and perhaps a CARB approved intake with an aggressive note, if one exists.
I look forward to seeing how the M community has evolved in my absence
