So In the new year I’ll need to replace my trusty mk6 golf…

I’ve ALWAYS wanted an M3 since I was a kid… there are some real nice e92 examples in my budget with 59-60k on the clock. However… there are also some e46’s around for similar price but with mileage closer 100 even 110k mileage, there are a couple with mileage around 80k but they are scarce.

How stupid am I being looking at these sorts of things? Would even the e9X models with around 60k miles be approaching problem time? Or are those engines pretty bomb proof?

Feedback greatly appreciated!
