What's the general consensus here regarding the purchase of an '04 M3 with 50K mi on the clock? I know the warranty is out and inspection II is looming, but drat is she a sexy ride. I'm currently in an '04 330xi and every time I push the pedal, the M3 pops up in my head and laughs a little bit at me.

I bought a ’02 330xi at the end of March with 70K on it. So far I absolutely love the car but yesterday it scared the ever living poo poo out of me. After taking a turn (calmly) the ABS, Brake, and DSC indicators light up amber. They stayed on for my short drive to Wendy’s and back and then turned off about 30 seconds into the next time I took the car out.

The manual says this indicates a failure of most if not all the electronic breaking systems and suggests taking it to a dealership. Where they were only for a mile or two of driving, should I be concerned?

I had a loose battery connection that caused all three of these lights to illuminate in my 330xi. I guess the weak connection cause some confusion with the wheel speed sensor so it threw the error. It might be worth looking at, however, it doesn't seem like this is the cause in your case.
