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!

    You mean vanos yeah?

    What’s the general mileage for getting these bits done? And do they need doing again? If I’m looking at 100k on an e46 that’s already had the vanos sorted once, is it likely to need it again?
