E9x is the only ///M3 that BMW came out with that had a V style motor instead of the traditional Inline 6. I honestly think the E46 ///M will hold value better then the E9x's.

The fugly E60 M5 was doomed with a horrid resale from Day1. I think the V8 in the E9x M3 will be appealing for a while...

I agree that the E60 looks didn't do it any favors. But the horrible mpg of both cars seems to rule it out for many enthusiasts looking for performance-oriented daily drivers. I know plenty of you guys do DD your M3s. And gas is relatively cheap right now. But the fear of $5+/gal always hinders those sub-15mpg cars.

Enthusiasts always try to estimate the value of the cars higher... but in reality, most M3 buyers are not enthusiasts. They will dump the E9x M3s when the new ones show up and that will drive resale values down. For most car buyers, "newer is better" is always the motto.
2008s are already in the high 30s/low 40s (4 years old) and the new models haven't even shown up yet. |

Personally, I keep my cars for a long time, so I won't be in the market for a new one until near the end of production of the F10 M5 or F80 M3/M4. |

I highly doubt that many of us will be lined up for the new M4. Most E9X M3 owners will keep their cars for many more years to come (because of E9X styling and V8.) Some will wait for the bugs to be worked out of the first gen M4 and a very few (foolish) will jump ship when first released.

This thread is going off on all types of tangents, but I think reasonable people will agree that there is no way to speculate on the value of this car three years from now with any certainity.

^ +1 The only certainty is that it will be worth less than you paid for it...

But, I would disagree that this is a completely intractable problem. In fact the entire lease process is founded on being able to predict the value of the car in the future. This can be done based on price trends of the current model and empirical data of similar models. BMW doesn't lease you the car out of the goodness of their hearts. They make money off of it. The way they make money is by being able to predict the value of the car in the future. |

True but that doesn't mean BMW is always right. I leased my '08 550 back in Oct 2007 and when it came time to turn it in the value on the market (KBB and others) was well below the residual on the car. I was seriously thinking of buying it but BMW refused to budge on the residual in Sept '10 so I turned the car in and bought the M3.
My local dealer CPO'd the car and basically sold it at the residual value so BMW was out the value of the CPO warranty...

I found BMWFS is very conservative with the residuals with the M3. The reason is they don't want these cars back at turn in. I have owned now 3 M3s, 2 E46 M3s and my current 2011 E92 M3. My 01 and 04 M3 I sold 3 mos. before lease end and put money in my pocket. My 01 M3 had a residual of $29K, sold it for $35K. My 04 had a residual of $31K and sold it for $38K, and they were easy sales. My residual on my 2011 will be right at $40K and I think I can sell my 2011 E92 M3 now for high $40K range to low $50k.

I think prices will drop significantly when the new M3 comes out... I think the S65 will make a comeback kind of like how the e30 did - will become a collector car as the only V8 m3

I've done some research and now believe my 2013 E92 M3 will be worth 38-40k at the end of my 3 year lease which ends 11/1/2015. That would be 5-7k less than the 62% residual. I have a good relationship with my dealer and am hoping to able to buy the car close to their cost from BMWFS. It is possible that because of the V8 and my low mileage I could be wrong.
