First oil change is probably at 5k. (I'd do the first one much sooner.). After that it's probably 7,500-10,000 mile intervals per the factory.

As for the M3 - if you get one for $16k, better have another $16k in the bank "just in case". I don't see the M3 as a cheaper alternative to a BRZ Limited ($28-29k?), but probably equal after factoring in some repairs. Heck, recommended maintenance at certain mileage can be $3-4k! (and that's for a car that's running fine)
Actually all maintenance, I mis-typed. I got that package when I got my Impreza and I've liked it for the convenience.
