Basically, you either get a brand new engine for free, or you just have a normal engine with 20k on it. There pretty much aren't any other problems. There is pre-mature wear on some tires, but all you need to do to fix that is get an alignment.

G's are extremely reliable.

there have been 03-04 5ATs and 6MTs that have reported the oil consumption but its very very very rare

I have an M3, the thing is an absolute blast to drive! Ive drove a G before on a couple of occasions, it doesnt even compare. If one has money for an M, one should buy an M!

Only reason im looking to sell it is so i can pay off my loan and buy a cheaper car (G) and have plenty of cash to put as a down payment on a house.

Gotcha...the M series is in a different league than the G and to compare it is not fair.

How does an M compare to a turbocharged G?

Yeah the M is in a different league, but those of us who dont have a ton of money-the G should satisfy most of our needs/wants. (I dont even have one yet, I have driven a few though on trips)
