Gonna have to agree with that. 314,000km on my M20 and it's still running strong (still has most if not all of it's ponies, too!) with some basic maintenance. Valve adjustement isn't even that bad; just lift the rear, pull out the plugs and spin the wheels in 5th gear. 30-45 minutes and all 12 valves are done.

My only beef with the M20 is the sewing machine noise it produces.

Having said that, I'd love a charged S5x/M5x in my e30 for some tire spinning fun.
