General Car Talk Discussion Thread
Went to a local bimmer dealership for something else and spotted this smurf beauty. It was a 6MT too. 
At $70k even, it's not bad at all. Now this slightly used for $50-55k in a couple of years? That's the winning package.

6mt? shit that is very rare.
There are about 6 or 7 M4s at New Century, in white, yellow and that blue. They have not seen any M3 in months.
The friend who used to work for Sierra Acura just moved to New Century, let me know if you need anything

I went to the Beverly Hills BMW and there was no M3 at the lot. They had a lot of M4s though.
Dude that dealer had this one year old M6 with 35K miles for $75K. Isn't that like a great deal?

It is about 50% off MSRP but $75k is still $75k.

anyone who had experience trade in a 1 year old car would tell you the depreciation in the first year in % is shocking. Now you add German, M and 35k miles in 1 year, I think even at $80k, the car is too expensive.

Couple years? Try next year. 
All euro cars depreciate faster than home values in New Orleans after a hurricane. You can buy a 10 year old S500 with less than 100k miles on it for ~$7000 now. That's more than $100,000 (or 90% of value) in depreciation in 10 years.

Great commercial!
Very similar to the Subaru and the Accord one, which reminds me the ILX commericial i saw last night, they are still advertising that kind of thrills and now added "catch me if you can" I remember i said sure, give me 2 secs and i will.
