Gearheads probably need little persuasion to get excited about owning a BMW M3. In contrast, something like a commuter-spec 330i might be a little less likely to get the blood pumping. However, prospective buyers of BMW M models and other cars of such nature should be mindful, as hidden costs are hard to escape. And regardless of whether it’s a new or used model they are considering, such costs could easily make gearheads wish they’d worn their sensible trousers and just bought a 3 Series instead.
