Anyone who buys a brand new car of any bread should know that you instantly lost money and with a specialty luxury type car you'll lose even more. If you have any sense at all regarding investments you probably wouldn't be looking at 99% of the BMWs. Therefore the people that are paying the $150k or whatever are probably aware of the depreciation and either don't care or just lease.
I'm not a very smart guy but I always thought that BMW doesn't want you to buy the cars outright because they make far more $$ on leases. Is this car worth 6 figures? Probably a personal question but I highly doubt it. You'd be best to wait a few years and find a garage queen at a 35-50% discount and throw the extra $50k into stocks or something.
If I had the extra cash lying around I'd be looking at a gallardo or an r8 or something else and pick up a a cheap billet proof DD.
