Who in their right mind would buy a BMW at that price point that will depreciate at least 40% of its value in 36 months?? Leasing is a different story, but still to have a lease payment over $2,000 dollars per month is crazy when you can lease so many other cars for similar lease payments. There are so many other choices in this price range. An LCI Audi R8 comes to mind at this price point, and it has a V10, which will go out of production in a few years, making it even more special.


In just a few short years time, the NA V10 will no longer be in production by any car manufacturer. The V12 is struggling to stay alive as well.

Don't forget that other competing brands in this price range depreciate just as fast. Mercedes, Aston Martin, Jaguar, Porsche etc. Depreciation doesn't stop rich folks from buying what they want. Especially if they buy it through their business and make it a business expense.
If money not an issue then it's Aston Martin hands down. One of the nicest looking cars around at any price . Price of 4 C8's
