Value? I'd estimate 18500 or so.

Weak points-they have usual BMW cooling issues, Vanos actuator issues, front suspension bushings, interior trim less than robust. Nothing that's a deal breaker. They are DIY'able if you're adventurous.

My complaints with mine (2002) were that a)it was a big heavy car that was really only fun at warp velocity on the highway, unlike my E28 M5 b) gas mileage truly sucked, and it has a smallish tank (15 or 17 gal iirc) so you're constantly filling it and c) maintenance is costly-little things like 4 o2 sensors, and the fact that many M parts have an M tax associated.
