Spends $175,000 on a BMW in 2020.
3 years later it's laughably outdated. 1,006hp!!! https://electrek.co/2020/05/29/repor...the-works/amp/

The EV M5 could have 100,000hp for all I care. Won't go near it.

2012 M5 —> 2015 M5 ... I could go on. +3 years has represented significant advances for the past few decades. This one represents a fundamental shift in the power train so the gains are larger for sure. But that's not the only measure of driving pleasure. That said: I'll take one. |

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. |

These arguments are funny...buying new vs used...losing money...at the end of the day a vehicle isn't an investment if purchased new or used. I personally don't buy used cars...I love owning new...i was able to get $12k off my m3. I've been a financial planner for many years and always chuckle at these convos.
It all depends on someones goals, financial means, and what they choose to spend their discretionary income on. I own 3 vehicles. I love cars and don't mind "losing" money buying new. I'm liquid and very much diversified in my portfolio between stocks and real estate so potentially losing some money when/if I decide to sell my m3...who cares. To each their own...we only live once so enjoy!!!

Everyone talks about how expensive these are, but my Carrera S build is ~$15k more expensive than my M8C build. 🤷🏻*♂️
