Replacing my dd

I have been thinking about replacing my DD and am looking for a AW m3 Coupe with CF top and DCT tranny (I don't wanna shift in traffic) and I have a few questions.

I live in Cambodia and I don't have dealership in my country, could i service the car myself? oils are fine, how about DCT maintenance? Or should I go for 6Sp instead?

What is the price am looking at for one less than 10k miles
the criteria includes,
nav screen
dct ofcourse
AW
no pref on wheels
most ads I've seen are for 50-55k, is this about right?
any input is valuable guys
Thanks...

I don't know about trying to deal with maintenance on your own! For a DD, something that has a near-by dealer is a must IMHO. I have an M3 as a DD, six speed as well, and it's a beautiful car to drive on a daily basis.

Hi Khalid, glad you are loving the M3, how does it compare to a 3RS?
the reason i don't want a 6sp, is that i don't wanna live with it on a daily basis.
do you know how much maintenance goes in to a DCT tranny?

2 owners and it's a buyback/lemon so I wouldn't offer more then maybe $40k for it. I'd skip on the lemon car anyway
