I got my '13 because I fell in love with the car at ///M school and was going to get a late '12 but it made more logic to wait another two months and get a '13. I am coming from an M Coupe and previously an E39 M5, that my wife now drives, so I have a love affair with V8 ///M motors. We will have to wait and see what the M2 and M4 bring to the table, but I would not trade or add to the collection until at least the LCI of those cars.

I'm in the same situation last V8 motivated me to get the M3.

I got a 2013 because this was the year I had a chance to pull the trigger. If it was 2008, it would not matter. An M3 is an M3. A 5 year old car that still turns heads will continue to turn heads years from now. Damn, I turn my head every time i see any M3 even the fake ones.

I had a 2011, got a GTR and then realized I missed the M3 massively, so I'm back with a 2013!! I'll keep this for a long time and maybe eventually get the next gen. M3.. maybe..

My plan is to keep this one for as long as she will lasts.
I hope to pick up another M3 or maybe M4 as long as the ///M DNA is retained in the next generation, but I would not want to give this one up. Quote:
I prefer something that's been out for a while. Greater chance of having the bugs ironed out, more features added as standard, perhaps more interesting options (e.g. competition package). I don't mind driving "the old model" x many years and never have. That said, the main reason I waited till 2013 was to pay off my house first.

Oh, I remember your "Talk Me Out of GTR!" thread.

Adding up the remaining lease payments and residual, I was paying almost as much for my 2011 as I would for a new 2013, albeit with fewer options (though just the options I wanted). It was a no-brainer, really. The additional cost I failed to consider was the five-month wait without either car, a sad and painful period that will come to around first week of February.

It confers balls of steel and is compensatory for insecure M3 drivers.

I owned an '11 335is and wanted a na car. I considered a vette and a Porsche 991. Then my dealer had a Lime Rock M3 on the floor and I thought "wow". The next week the LM was gone and he had an all black M3 with DCT, ZCP, ZPP, Sat and Apps on the floor and I grabbed it. I was motivated by the loyalty and $1500 credit plus what I thought was strong trade in money for my 335is. I did pay $1400 over invoice but the whole deal made sense. Finally I wanted to lease so I'd get the credits and the low money factor and extremely high residual of 62% for 10k 36 months. The other thing was I got a big check after paying the drive off.

I love V8's and this was my last chance. I have also been wanting an M3 for years , but this is the first time I have been able to make it work financially. I personally think the cars will continue to improve and many of us will want the newer car in 2-3 years, but for now I love the engine and the DCT transmission in this car. You can't wait forever to see what will come out next, you've got to pull the trigger at some point.
