I've had a few m3's...they are very reliable. I've never had a problem with any of mine really besides basic maintenance. Overall its a way better car than the Evo. BUT...if you want ***** out performance the Evo is the car to have. My evo now with 360whp flat out destroys modded m3's.

BMWs tend to start to have problems that late into its lifespan, which is why so many people lease BMWs (since a lot of them also include free maintenance up to a certain point, usually coinciding with the end of a lease). Besides, an M3 with that many miles is questionable at best. They are fun to drive, though, especially with the RWD and a top end that our cars don't have. I just couldn't see myself forking over the dough for one.
As a side note, I used to work at a Toyota dealership, and I remember we had a 2004 M3 SMG with 49k miles and the factory option 19s, and it took us FOREVER to sell it. Our original asking price was ~$45k and we ended up dropping it to $34k (if I remember correctly) before we sold it... to an ex-employee who traded in his salvaged WRX for chump change.
