E46 M3 is a great car. Love mine as a stockish track car and fun around town. I would recommend doing the subframe reinforcement anyway. It may look good now, but sooner or later it will probably crack. Better to do it before it does. As far as the RB goes, think of them as preventive maintenance. Worth replacing every 60-80K miles. VANOS? Yeah, they will go bad at some point as well. Often just a solenoid, but sometimes more. Again, part of ownership! Honestly, the car is still pretty analog, so much of it can be dyi. Should these things scare you away? Absolutely not. Wonderful car. Just understand that any premium car has expenses. Good luck.
