Options until the M2 comes out

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Late 2015 launch is a long time away

With the new job, I'm driving much less now and thinking about either a 2 year lease on the M235 or just picking up a 2009/2010 E92 M3

Mileage is not as big a concern as it was when my commute was longer.

Anyone else thinking about short term stop gaps? What other options are you considering?

ugh.. in a weak moment at 4am last night I considered selling my 1M and going to an E90 M3 Sedan in the interim... Prices are as low as the upper 20s and low 30s.... I'm not interested in trying to make money, and I'm VERY happy with the 1M.... I'll stick with 1M bliss for a while longer... but I am curious about the M2.... Euro Delivery a second time would be amazing...

I did a S4 and I am reasonable happy. Should have just put the miles on 1M, but it's too nice to put that many miles on.

Toyota FRS/Subaru BRZ?

Cheap, fun, good to learn "racing", M2 will be a very nice and pleasant upgrade in terms of power (straight line performance), practicality and comfort/features once it is out.

I just thought about leasing a 320i xDrive with the current lease special and just do a euro delivery in spring/summer '16 for the M2

I have a deposit on a M235i, but I've just been thinking I would like a real ///M this time around

I'm 99% decided now to pull the trigger on the M235 as a 3 year lease especially with the news about the availability of a mechanical LSD.. Hoping to switch to a GC M2 in 2016-2017
