Bleh, S54 is one if the cleanest simplest engines out there to work on, only a two stroke is simpler. That's what makes it so great. I mean have you seen how clean the harness is, lack of hose rats nest, etc
Parts costs on the other hand...
Yeah it's not so much the motor that worries me, it's a lot of other little stuff :
Brake cost? Reliability of little things like moonroof seals/motor, door electrics for power windows/locks, AC components, and so on. I'd also guess that a clutch for an M3 would be a fairly high price compared to generic econoboxes, and I don't even want to think about the cost of rebuilding/replacing the tranny.
A lot of this also applies to the G35 of course, but I seldom see people having any major trouble with them other than worn interiors and such.
Maybe I'm just jealous and want to get a //M first again
