Old M3 or new 435

[Tag11]

Big thread revive...

Funny how things work out and decisions are made and then destined to be repeated in a similar fashion...

I just bought an M4, 2016 model, low mileage, once again I was looking at the brand new 330i or contemplating waiting for an M340i (and briefly looked at a current gen 440i

As before, I made the decision to go proper ///M - preferring older raw power and dynamics over newer fancy refinement.

@tag911 ... what about a boxster or new cayman ... thats if you dont need the extra seats !? ... (R800k odd budget)
im biased right now ... but they really are awesome cars ... and as daily drives ... its such a pleasure with the PDK box

At the time, I had a 911 C2S, so a Boxster/Cayman as a daily didn't really make sense.

Thats right Tagg, hold on to that Gem of a ///M:bravo:

I enjoyed owning it, but regretted the convertible aspect... it had too many rattles from the hardtop mechanism, it was a year or two of fun.

I guess I am the only one that would have chosen the 435i especially at the reef

You're not. I believe you should move forward/up. 435i is newer and so I would have gone that route.

435 M Sport with PPK :inlove:

I was happy with my decision, but I think I would have been happy either way. Unless I bought the gran coupe (which I actually wanted), it seems they have taken a much bigger depreciation knock, no idea why!

New M4 .
For an extra 25% spend over the 435i

Mine arrives this week... looking forward to it.
