    Beautiful.

    Honest question....what is the reliability and maintenance of these things like? Is it comparable to the M3 or better?

    Pretty high but you have to pay to play.

    It only has 53k miles and has had the common and expensive issues fixed (front struts and power steering pump). It also has new brakes all the way around so it will be a while before I have that bill.

    The tires should last a while as long as I leave the traction control on.

    the different models. E55 AMG was the supercharged v8. the e63 went over to the 6.2l NA V8 making a little more horse power. I ended up test driving these before I got the BMW
