Not looking to take a deep $$ hit after a year and also not dump a bunch into fixing or maintenance then take a look at my car for sale. It is an '08 E90 M3 fully loaded and I'm selling it for $32,499 which is about the lowest cost M3 in the entire country and it is in great condition.

Drive it for a year and then sell it and I bet you will still be able to sale it for $30K.

Great idea, will start looking now. Thank you!!

I said it before. The E9x M3 is gonna take one major hit in value which will coincide with the release of the f8x M3/4. I predict we're gonna fall off a cliff. BUT, after it's truly realized by enthusiasts what this current car is/was that's when these cars are going to slowly climb in value. Regardless of whether the f8x M3/4 is good, great or neither. But if the next gen is lousy, which I doubt, then the sky is the limit from a value perspective. I don't think the next gen body on the garden variety 4-series is gonna matter all that much in terms of value. We're in GOOD shape long-term. Just my prediction and .02 cents.
