Cost wise there is no question they are more expensive than the M850i or M8 as the 2020 GTS I test drove was $40k plus (if memory serves) over the final build of my M850i.

When my lease is up on the M850i I'll be facing my last significant car purchase as it will be timed with a decision to move from semi-retired to full retirement. Unless some unforeseen circumstance precludes me from continuing with my current gig (very unlikely), I may just decide to keep working for another couple of years to cover the purchase of my last hurrah before I'm relegated to Honda Accords in my retirement life. Thus, I'm still betting on the Panamera and a few others within the $250K realm to be that last hurrah.
I have told my Financial Advisor that my retirement plan needs to include a discretionary pool of funds for my BMW leases.
