Hey guys, I'm very close to signing on the dotted line for a 2008 Graphite coupe with red interior. The car has 45k miles on it. Is there anything I need to look for/worry about, as far as any problems with these cars? I'm a Corvette guy and this will be my first BMW. Any info will be appreciated. Thanks

So pretty much you are going for a car out of warranty. Get ready for unexpected visit to BMW service center.

Or take the extended warranty plan if it is available.
Anecdotally, the NA E9x M3 V8 seems to be one of the most reliable BMWs in production

OP - Idle control valve failure is a common problem, worth a google search.

Can't spring for an 09? 09 had considerable improvement to idrive system.
