You apparently can’t read between the lines. My point is all of the people financing a brand new non M bimmer are stupid because you will lose big time since it lost 50% of its value in just a few years.

Tell me what isn’t “special” about financing a heavily depreciating good that is nowhere close to being an asset. These young guys are going to be living in their 40i’s in a few years while paying it off for the rest of their lives

Yeah seems about right. Americans seem to be scammed real bad. The mountains they will climb just to claim they are the 1st owner when there is basically no difference if it is low miles.

2020-2021 m340s here in europe are like 35k and you americans are leasing this car at a msrp of 70k with 1k every month? oh what lol

The S4 was always a 6 cylinder no? And the 4.2 is pretty meh when the S65 in the M3 exists which is basically its competitor. Neither are good dd’s unless you are swimming in cash

dream daily car for sure

It basically boils down to how much speed you want to trade for driver’s feel and vice versa. A e92 335is the perfect balance, E36 is full on drivers feel (E46 is the same it’s basically just a face-lift in the end) and F80 is full on speed, G80 basically just improves everything the F80 did, similarly to how E46 improves what the e36 did without changing the car’s personality.

Out of those though, the E92 M3 is the quirkiest. Its main premise is the sound, and it is already way too heavy to be considered a pure driver’s car like the E36/e46, it still doesn’t have the electric steering which is nice, and was the only 3 series with a V8

Then you should got for the 335is. 25k should easily get you a low mileage one, n54 is fine especially the newest 11-13 one that went in the 335, n54 horror stories are mostly from high mileage/abused models with no maintenance, if you’ll keep up the maintenance and won’t redline it daily it shouldn’t be expensive.

Well it’s either a 240/340 or a 335is… reliability and more power potential vs more of a driver’s feel car that is going to be more expensive to upkeep, plus imho E92 is much prettier than f30 and the 2 series

To not worry about the reliability of a n54/n55, you’re going to have to overpay for a low mileage stock one. Or one with an extensive service history. Other than that it’s gambling whether it will make you broke.
