Good to hear it's getting sorted Chris. Thought it was a CSL 'thing', phew. I have a mate who has a 2002 e46 M3 coupe SMG (he's owned it for 8-9 years). A tad over 100k miles on the clock. Back street (local garage in the countryside - do tractors too, ooh arr me laddie ) serviced for the last 5 or so years. Never had a prob. Never missed a beat. Still pulls and sounds strong.

My old E46 M3 vert had almost 100k on when i sold it, and was perfect. Thats in a 500kg track car now though, and still going strong in that!
