I had an e92 M3. Its was awesome. Especially, if you have the DCT IMHO. That being said. If you look at it finacially, a lease on an M235 is going to less than financing 50K.

Maintenance will cost but the CPO should have the warranty and thats what matters most.

But the main thing to consider, is that they drive totally different. I went from th M3 to an E90 MSport Performance Edition (basically Black Grill and factory installed PPK) I love it. Its actually quicker around town with a lot less drama than the M3. The torque is just awesome.

However, the M3 on a track or a really nice winding road where you can drive at or above 7 tenths is amazing. That is the zone the M3 was born for. Now if your like me, I don't get to the track often and I don't live in an area that I can do more than a corner here and a corner there. Its mostly hole shots and a blast onto the fwy etc.

So it really depends on what you want. Both are great - just different applications with some overlap.
