1997 BMW M3 Coupe 2dr Coupe
fun, but some cheesy features
 I bought a 1997 M3 five months ago, and 
I'm happy with it -- it's a blast to 
drive -- but some interior features 
have a ticky-tacky feel.  Plastic bits 
have broken off, for example.  Some BMW 
dealers, meanwhile, seem to think that 
actually servicing my car is beneath 
them.  To add to the frustration, many 
spare parts cost a bloody fortune.
