2) Rates on the '12s right now are pretty terrible, whether I can afford it or not, I'm not trying to get myself locked into a bad rate / deal.

3) Conversley, the rate I'd be getting on the '11 is very good.

4) The '11 M3 is EXACTLY what I want as far as the color, transmission, roof type go and it is sitting there on the lot. I know it is missing a few options, but it is very tempting to me.
But what are your priorities in a car in general? Do you prefer luxury or performance? Will you get frustrated that you have to carry your hand held garage door opener in your car? It all depends on what is important to YOU!
