My Insurance isn't too bad, It's $85ish I think with it set up as an unlimited mileage driver, and would probably be less if I set it up as a weekend / 5k sorta of thing.

And another couple of things on maintenance. At least around here, the dealer charges WAY too much money. The trailing arm bushings would have been $850, and they sent out a thing recently that said they've lowered oil changes from $250 to $225, but that *excludes* M3s since they take special oil...

The TWS Motorsport 10-60, which is currently the only approved oil, goes for about $12-14/qt, 6 needed put you at $70-80, plus say $40 for labor at an indy shop if you don't want to mess with it and you're still less than half the cost of the dealer.
