Pretty much all cars depreciate about 50% after the first 3 years. |

It's like saying you could've bought a loaded Cayenne turbo instead of 911 gt3 ... Instead, it'll be most likely cross shopped against other 4 seater GT cars, like MB S class coupe, Lexus LC500 etc Personally, I'd buy that Lexus for that N/A engine alone, if I was in the market for this type of vehicle. Although the new 8 has a decent exhaust sound from race track fly by videos online. |

Well, even electronic seats w/ memory are an option in the EU on most BMWs. It's ridiculous. Here in the USA I couldn't find any BMW without them.

The guys on the Porsche forums know their stuff & the Turbo S is notorious for being one of the worst depreciating 911 models. After 3-4 years you could probably easily score one for 40-45% depreciation. Do some reading on Rennlist if you think I'm crazy. Those guys know how to score deals from the stealerships |

In my opinion their cars are even more emotion than BMW and their model lineups are almost a direct correlation between horsepower and price. I've seen several graphs that Rennlist members have made, and it's scary how linear the relationship is. So there's no saying BMW may or may not adopt similar practices |

Perfect machine for ripping up MLK, over to Pratt, down Presidents Street then end up up on Thames parked in front of the Oyster House for their lobster roll, then staring at it through the window while listening to live music from the Waterfont Hotel. Count Me In. |

Different people have different mixes of what's important when it comes to "value:" - MSRP - depreciation - lease rates - interior design - material quality - power - handling - efficiency - prestige/image - technology - doors - roof design - lighting - colors - weight - practicality - curb appeal - etc. You are assuming that everyone's idea is the same "mix" of the above that you do. All you're really confirming is that this doesn't appear to be the car for people like and people who think like you, and that's 100% fair - you just need to understand the limitations of that statement. |
