A nice low miles E90M is still being dragged down by the claws of cruel 5000+unit depreciation as soon as it's driven, where the 1M's seem to be holding steady and the difference between 40k and 60k doesn't seem to be much of any so long as condition is good
We have a 12 year old N54 in the family and it's had some minor issues but, it's in an E93 and doesn't get driven much and still gets where it's going at 30k miles. For a weekend car you don't depend on all the time, who cares, if it throws a code it tells you what's wrong and you get it fixed
SO yeah. If you were willing to sell your E90M, that tells me you weren't willing to mate for life with it, which tells me you should try the 1M on and see how it feels

I sold its for some life changing reasons to spring me forward. Gave up having a nice car for about a year or so. I agree with you though, trying something different might be nice and can always resell it.

I am getting engaged here within the next 6 months and I am 4 months into building a home. Sold the M3 to help fund the house build. I am waiting another 8 months until I close with the bank to make another purchase due to mortgage companies not liking to see large purchases prior to closing on a home.

I actually like turbo motors and would be just as happy with a 1M.

1M costs a premium for a reason. I could care less about the speed, more so interested in what makes that 1M special. Low production numbers, one year only, and you will never see a car like it again most likely.
