The M3 and the 235 will loose aprox. the same in depreciation in the next 2/3 years. After that, the M3 will reach the "exotic bottom" and depreciate a lot less, but you are looking a 5-6 yrs of ownership for that to make a difference.

Some say the V8 factor will help depreciation. In my opinion it all depends on future fuel prices. If gas comes to $8-10 a gallon like in europe, nobody will want the v8. It's a gamble, very hard to predict future fuel prices.

It will also cost a seizable amount of money to maintain/repair the M3.
