Awesome info. Now do they use the auto enhanced 04 or the 08 version? I'm trying to decide where I need to be to make that M4 lease look more desirable to me
typically the ///M cars do not get lease support, which means the MF is pretty high compared to non-M cars. And the residual on ///M cars is usually worse as well......... So all in all they kinda suck to lease when compared to the stellar leases you can get on the rest of the BMW family
Crushing my dreams. I love my 135 but want an M4 eventually but purchase is not really an option because I would not want one out of warranty
I've owned previous M3's, including the outgoing E90. I spent signigfact time driving both the new M3 and the new 335 before getting the 335 MSport (w/ the PPK tune).... Honestly the 335 is a better everyday car. The ZF8 is way better on the road that the DCT. The engine is more accessible at lower RPM's on the 335. Once the smile factor of the ///M badge wears off, it starts to lose it's appeal as a daily driver. I have no idea what your use for it is; if it's destined to be a weekend only fun car you romp on, then get one. If not, I'd say stick w/ the 335 (soon to be 340). With a tune, it's within inches of a M3 in a straight line as far as acceleation goes (even closer once the 340 replaces the 335). The handling benefits of the M3/M4 aren't noticeable on a street (on a track of course they are), and the decreased MPG really started to piss me off when i had to get gas every 29 hours. I don't care if they actually cost the same to buy, I'd still get the 340 (or 440 i guess) over the ///M for a eveyday car. And then throw in that you can get a vastly better lease on a 3 or 4 series vs the ///M it makes it even sweeter........Just my two cents.........
