Out of curiosity, I know there's a stigma that says to "never buy a used BMW", but is that really the case for a, let's say, 08' and up M3? What would my main concerns be if I get one? Thinking of getting rid of the X.

ah, ok. I thought there was something legit to that saying. So it's pretty much just "people" complaining about how much BMW charges for their repairs? Not really about the quality of their OEM parts?

It's probably smarter to buy a bmw 2-3 years old

Exactly, people don't care to research forums and do preventative maintenance on their used German whips. Buying a "new" BMW is a waste due to the depreciation hit.
Find one in good condition (with service records), a reputable indy shop, model specific maintenance guide, and keep a few grand set aside for repair$

I almost feel like this is a troll question
But to answer your question, the main concern with the E9X platform is the rod bearings, while it actually only happens to a very few percent of owners it is the biggest concern with them. I've heard a few things about the throttle actuator but not like the bearing issue.
Like I've said countless times, the people who give BMW the "bad reliability" name are people who buy the car but cant afford to keep it up.
Also a lot of people have no idea what they're talking about when it comes to buy something like a M3, all they see is how old it is, the price and the miles.

Thanks, guys. There's just so much bias-ness when I try to google the info, I knew you guys had the truth

There is truth that the repair cost are high though, there's no denying that. But there's nothing wrong with letting someone take that deprecation hit and you getting a CPO

Of course but its a $70k car brand new, you expect them to be low? lol
Also a 2 year old M3 hasn't taken a huge deprecation hit yet compared 4-5 year old one.

I don't expect anything, I was speaking in general

True.
If you're worried about reliability buy a Camry or Accord.

Lol my bad, I was a little tipsy last night.huh clarify this
Then the #Rumble #STI will be a weekend car, once I can find one that's not beaten. ahahaha
But for the time being, I'm looking to pick up a 2.5I for the winter season that we mid-western have.
No turbo, no trouble.. Thus will also give me actual hands on practice with a Boxer motor.

I've noticed that every time he's mentioned it he also had to let it be known that he lives in CT.

I dont think people in CT, or anywhere for that matter, cares THAT much if you have an older M3 or not.
You just tryna badge/year floss now b.

Exactly.
Im pretty sure his entire argument was talking about dudes in the hood trying to floss but he just had a horrible way of getting his point across
And the fact he knows zero about cars or the market.

What are objective reasons why the e9x is a great car?
All this talk and no one ever numbers or anything objective why it's so great

The new engine in the Infiniti Q60 is looking legit. 
Always thought it took too long for nissan/infiniti to go turbo in the US. A lot of car makers did tbh.

How in the world are you going to hate on someone owning an M3 from any year?

Because anyone who knows anything knows that its not JUST about numbers, its about the whole driving experience. Plus you're an America lover so no matter what people say you wont like it.
I'm not sure if it was you or someone else in that thread tried to compare a 08 M3 to a brand new GT but I got a good laugh out of that one.
A better comparison would be 08 M3 vs 08 GT where the M would dominate in every category.
Until recently American companies couldn't make anything that could do more than go fast in a straight line, which is cool I love all builds.
