///Bruce is on a distinguished road
I understand from my SA that there are two hoses inside the oil pan that have a tendency to fail at high mileage. I also asked him about the pano roofs. He stated he's replaced a few broken ones but other than that, no issues. I would definitely stay away from the 4.6is. Too many door lock actuator issues and they do like the petrol.

BTW, it would seem the 04-06 4.8 gets better gas mileage than the new 4.8's. I average 20.1 on the highway and 14 in the city.

I also owned THREE e46 M3C's and traded my 05 M3C for my current CPO'd 06 4.8is and I'm lovin it! Just installed full CF roundels on the bonnet and the back. Great quality from Asia. Cost me $35 for the pair and a perfect fit! I also have four CF roundels inbound for the wheels to match.
