Sorry guys. This should read " I'm new this board and am looking for some advice. I currently have a 1998 323is and will be taking a look at a 1997 M3 sedan(Black/tan leather/96,000km/$35,900 canadian) this weekend. It no longer qualifies as a "certified series" and has no warranty remaining. Anything I should look out for or check other than the ovious. When I take it for a test drive I was thinking of getting it checked out by a mechanic at another dealership(Non BMW). Any further suggestions or imput you could add would be great. Thanks in advance"
