HELP! Purchase E92 M3 w/V8 or wait for next gen F82 M4 w/V6
EDIT 8: Let's just see how things are when my lease is up. I don't want to buy a car that is going to be old in a year.
So as you can see, I drive an E92 LCI 328 alpine white on coral red pretty much fully equipped. I love my car and haven't had any really bad complaints with it (currently 7 months since lease began; now at about 6k miles) My lease is for 3 years and my sister wants to get a BMW just like mine (she won't need a car until around June/July). So I was thinking of ordering an E92 M3 with the naturally aspirated V8 around May/June (and waiting the long 2 months again), because the rumor that the next gen M3, the M4, will have V6 engine with twin turbo. http://www.f30post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=582941 I know a V6 will save on fuel consumption, but I do not care about that. What do you guys think? Wait for the F82 M4 and get it when my lease is up (January 2014) or order an E92 M3 in May/June? EDIT 1: the thing that I am worried about is that production will stop for the E92 M3 in June... http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=542482 EDIT 2: If I were to get an M3, it would be to buy a it with the options I want (like how I did for the 328i). I am considering European Delivery too. Money is not an issue. EDIT 3: So after thinking for some time and getting comments from different people, I think I should just go with a 3 year lease on an E92 M3 and going from there. Thoughts on that? EDIT 4: Thanks everyone for opinions and votes. I think I am going to lease an E92 M3 in either Jerez Black or Jet Black with Fox Red/Black/Black interior and carbon fiber trim nicely equipped around May/June for 3 years. Do some basic cosmetic mods along with adding camera in the front so I can be sure bumper is safe when parking and just enjoy it! Thanks! EDIT 5: I'm swaying back and forth on the situation. As of now, I will just go along with my 328i coupe (as I am extremely happy with it) and go from there once my lease is finished (January 2014. I might just buy my current car at the end of the lease if the new body of the 3/4 series fails to impress me as much as the current generation. Even if I do like the new design, I will probably wait one or two years for the M4 (or whatever it's called) to evolve (little tweaks and fix issues) and then buy it and do European Delivery (around 2015-2016). If it is possible and worth extending my lease, that's an option too. EDIT 6: A used 2011 e93 m3 is starting to seem appealing to me especially because the weather in LA is beautiful. (to buy when my lease finishes in early 2014 assuming the new M4 is not what I am looking for and I do not get sick of the e92/e93 design; I just love the current design!!!) EDIT 7: So after seeing the awesome renderings of the M4 (http://www.f30post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=609964) I am going to wait. I am not a huge fan of the design, but I want the upgraded interior and new features like head-up display and cameras. When I think of it though, not a big deal. So let's see how the F30 is when it comes out. Maybe that will help me decide. I am running against the clock here though as production is ending soon!!! *thinking of an e92 M3 white on red (yes I know, again. lol. it's just the sexiest combo) Last edited by pn_e92; 11-21-2011 at 02:31 AM..

You could get both? the new one prob won't be out for sometime. In the mean time you can enjoy the last of the v8 beast! I have had a lot of BMW and this by far is my favorite. Whatever you decide GL and let us know if you need any assistance.

Parham, are you persian? I can see you and your family are addicted to BMWs like most other Persians! Definitely get the e92 M3, it is a beast and you will love it! It most probably will be the only M3 ever produced with V8. Consider getting CPO if you want to save money, and definitely talk to Golffrr as most people who dealt with him are pretty happy!

You haven't even been in your current car for a year. It doesn't seem like a good idea to switch unless you can get a really good deal on the M3. I presume that your sister would take over your 328 lease. Would you lease the M3?
I don't want to turn this into one of those "you can't afford it" threads, but you do have to carefully balance your need vs want ratio against your own financial situation. |

Also, I hear your point about the money and it's a very valid point indeed, but for my purposes that will not be an issue that will be factored into purchasing the M3 brand new. don't need two cars. want to stick with one. and I dont mind waiting either, i just need to decide which is better (even though we dont know much about the M4 yet) |

Go for the E9x
I still cant get over the fact that the next gen will be called the M4, I end up doing double takes every time I read it

You are missing the point. The M4 is still more than three years away. Lease an E92 M3 now, and when the lease is up, lease a new M4. Problem solved, end thread.

But I'm realizing I will probably want to upgrade or get a different color combo by my 3rd or 4th year with the car and so it will be pointless to buy. |

Don't miss out on the last N/A V8 M3. The noise the engine makes alone is worth it.

I have a feeling we're going to be seeing a LOT more of these types of threads in the coming months.
p.s. you can take european delivery on a lease.

I know I can still take ED, but will it be that much of a discount justifying traveling to Europe? because with buying the car the discount seems pretty high so I am inclined to travel to Europe. If it is just like $2-3k off on a lease, I feel like it's not worth it (I wouldn't go alone either). Also, what's your opinion esquire? Buy an E92 M3 or lease it for 3 years and go from there? |

that's what I was thinking of doing, but isn't it much cheaper to decide before you lease if you want to buy?

There is just one price for the car, regardless of how you pay. The discount with a lease will be the same as if you buy. If you order from one of the forum sponsors at about ED invoice price, you should save at least 6k or so, and maybe up to 8k. I think it is about a 14% discount off the normal MSRP.

Btw, I have seen that 14% off somewhere else too, so I think you are right. |

I have been searching the forums, but still a bit confused.
How does PCD work? Better than ED? Cheaper? Discount? any summary pls? Thanks! EDIT: Never mind found it finally. But, what is the best program available to learn how to drive the car and take it to its limits. I want to learn how to professionally drift, etc. Does BMW offer a program like that?

This won't work if the lease rate is not attractive though.

i wouldn't buy the e92 M3 outright at this point if you are also seriously considering buying the next gen M3/M4. re: financing, if you end up leasing the car, ED might not be the route to go. obviously you won't realize the full ED savings unless you end up purchasing the lease at the end of the term. not to mention that ED takeks 3 months from beginning to end. maybe the move here for you is to negotiate an M3 at a few cents above invoice. - esquire

The main reason for me suddenly thinking of getting the M3 is because I would like the V8 engine and I love the design of the E92. I don't want to regret not having the M3 in the future when only the next gen is available for order (I don't want to buy used). Even if I end up paying a little more, I think it is worth not regretting missing out on the E92 M3 in the future. Thanks for the long, explanatory post. EDIT: Just to reiterate, I would not be getting the M3 (most probably for lease) until around June. So lease rates will be different? Better hopefully?
