Is there a way to know if spark plugs have been changed?

I've actually been pretty disappointed with the F150 so far. With the platinum package it is hard to beat the interior. However, it has been in the shop 7 times throughout the last year for a variety of different reasons. I bought it so that I could have something reliable but it has been in the shop more than any of the toy cars...imagine that.
The M3 is a 1995. It was in close to mint condition until the clutch started going bad...but i'd say 118,000 miles on the original clutch isn't too bad.

My f350 is a 2004 with 40k miles and other then regular maintenance has been good to me. I have had a few BMWs and really liked them and am thinking of getting a e46 M3. The clutch on yours is just a normal repair and gave some good service at 118k. Put some pics up of your M3 if you get a chance.

I searched for 3-4 months before I found the M3. It was so incredibly hard to find one that hasn't been abused or modified.
The 911 was the exact opposite. I woke up one saturday deciding that I was finally going to buy a 911 turbo. Found this one up in Dallas and knew it was priced right so I drove up there and bought the thing.
After driving the turbo around I find myself wishing the e36 M3 had more power. I used to own an e46 as well and will say that it had plenty of power. However, for some reason you just don't feel anywhere near as "connected" to the car as you do with the e36. It's like a giant go kart.
The older F series use a lot less technology so they do not have near the problems that the newer models have. The microsoft sync system is a very expensive piece of garbage that should never have been licensed to use in a vehicle. I had to have the entire thing replaced (under warranty) a month after I bought the truck. 40,000 miles on an f350?! You probably own one of the lowest mile f350s on the road. I saw one the other day on auto trader that had 830,000 miles.

Your M3 is sweet love the blue of course lol. Yes the E36 is more driver involved but since I have owned a couple decided the e46 would be something different to add with my 996tt. My truck was mainly used when I owned other properties for maintenance etc but now just own land elsewhere and only needed for homedepot runs for my house. Only put about 1500 miles a year on truck. Nice to hear info about your f150 as I have been thinking of buying new truck.
