E30 M3's- DD

[vinuneuro]

I'm contemplating selling the Prelude at the end of this year, or next summer. Few different options: replace with 97-98 Integra Type R or 2000-2001 S4, or keep the lude and get a bike.

Or get an E30 M3. There is so much stigma around that car, that it is insanely horrible to own and maintain. Is it that unreliable, or are parts that insanely expensive? I looked through some parts catalogs, and some parts seem even cheaper than Honda parts while others are ridiculous. The valvetrain, pistons and some body parts are criminally expensive. At the end of the day, these are mechanincal parts that don't randomly fail when maintained properly as a whole.

I'd appreciate any insight regarding daily driving this car. It's within my budget (10-15k) and is one of the cars I revere tremendously (much much more than the E36 and E46).

It's funny that the E30 M3 is just as in-expensive as the E36 model.
