I love the way the way E9x sounds, that gnarly yet refined growl of the V8 epitomizes what M power is all about. I wonder what the tri turbo will sound like in comparison?

If it helps, my gas mileage has steadily gotten better as the car has broken in. The mileage is never gonna be stellar but I'm ok where I'm at.

If you have DCT, you can easily pull 19 mpg with a city/highway mix (mostly city). As I do.
I have also gotten better mpg since hitting 8.5k on the odo. You want to play, you gotta pay.

Sure. I would bet that special editions would come out towards the end in fact.
But I'm almost certain it'll be more of the same: special paint, maybe some individual stitching, etc. - that kind of (cosmetic) stuff. Highly doubt any significant performance-related changes. For North America that is. No one has a clue.

And it will have that awful 3 series interior with the nav screen on top of the dash. No place for my radar detector to sit.

Also, sadly, people equate $$$ with prestige and or value. Which is not always the case, this case certainly being the exception. BMW is also well aware that their brand is considered a luxury vehicle in North America and will fall in suit with this mentality by keeping prices reflective as such.

It is disappointing that BMW is not going to add something special to the final year of this great car. IMO the best value are the 2010 and 2011's with low miles and well-maintained since someone already paid for most of the depreciation. The sad thing about those who are buying the 13' is that as soon as you own it the new M3 comes out and cause a major drop in the value of your car you just got. And of course the press and everyone else will be hyping the new M3 like it's the best thing since sliced bread. Those who say they prefer the current car will have their resolve tested big time.

What I was stating is the fact that the MARKET value of the 13' M3 will take a disproportional drop due to the emergence of the F80 M3, not what it's value is to YOU. Yes, the current M3 is worth a lot to many of us on this forum but that doesn't mean it will fare as well in the general market place.
