thats it, time to buy a Landcruiser

lol i remember that deal on the radio i've been wanting a m3 for awhile now and have been looking at other options and found certain cars that are getting older with higher km but still worth good money. That got me thinking what is a good buy in terms with deprecation or is it better to wait for the car to be over 5 years old, then the deprecation slows down?

Is there a site that shows what it costed to buy the car new? Old Porsche 911 seems to hold there value well too

yeah those are never cheap they are still a good 15k when i'm pretty sure you can get the next shape up for that money

which cars do you think deprecate the least? my list is 99 honda s2000 07 honda jazz sport 02 mini cooper s Also a 01 B5 RS4 wagon is worth more than a e46 m3! does audi hold their values better than bmw?

Very nice, great to see a 4dr Interior shots?

did this on my fb once and the winner were Chrysler (PT cruiser and neon) also Ssangyoung

being a e46 m3 owner, i wouldnt recommend one unless you dont mind spending silly amounts of money on it as for the Z4M....not my cup of tea, that shape Z4 still screams mid life crisis or hair dresser

did the e46 m3 get hit with a big price drop when the e92 m3 was released? i started using fuelly.com to track my fuel usage and 15.5l/100km was my average with 14.7l/100km being my best...a few years ago i drove down to queenstown from chch and i got 7.8l/100km which was sweet!

this one seems like a good buy for 70k http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/...n-565213406.htm ....but do prefer to buy one at the dealer so i can get the warranty which will cover genuine parts and piece of mind if something that does go wrong you think its better to buy now or wait until the m4 announcement which should drop the e92 price?

Thanks E90 M3. I read your complete thread on the engine start up noise you had on m3post after tom pointed it out. I was abit shocked on how many people had the same problem but was great news that bmw replaced the engine for you. Also with so many people having this problem or having this problem with not knowing about it, none has had any engine failures from the result of this noise. fuel consumption is a worry for me BUT my daily driver is a e46 m3 and its all city driving, i only avg 15.5l/100km...not sure if the e92 m3 would be that much worst. as for a C63 i'm still waiting for one to turn up for me to test drive, at the moment the E92 M3 is still on the top of my list and waiting for one to turn up at the bmw dealership at the right price hahaha

sh*t! did you have lock nuts? or did they just smashed them off?

Yes but you have to look the part when you drop off your kids to school in the morning lol

i drove a 2012 DCT m3 last year and i loved it, the DCT felt far better than the SMG and overall the car feels a lot more modern and refined than the e46 m3. After that i said to myself its time for a upgrade. But now i'm abit more on the fence if the e92 m3 would be my next car or not thanks again tom

Just what i wanted, you're a legend Tom! i didnt think there were so many problems with his model. I have only heard people over at m3post/m3forum complain about the bad fuel consumption otherwise they all rave about how great of a car it is. does the factory bmw warranty cover all of those problems? as i would be selling it after the warranty runs out...as you know fixing M cars are not cheap with city driving how my km would you get out of a tank? i like the 1M but not liking it enough to buy one...any opinion on the C63 AMG?
