Currently leasing a 15' AY F82 as my DD. Lease ends late June. I love the car and it fits all my needs but I'm still contemplating keeping the car or switching. The M2 CS is super interesting since I've wanted a more nimble feeling car but don't want to really downgrade too much on power.
Here are some choices so far: M2 CS Giulia Q.V. 718 GTS/S M3 ZCP |

2015 : F80 M3
2016 : F83 M4 convertible 2018 : Just bought a M4 GTS expecting permanent ownership I have considered some other cars like Cayman GT4, Carrera S, GT350R, GT-R before buying the M4 GTS. Frankly I am not a BMW fanatic but M is always right. 👍🏻 |

It's been my dream car since I was a kid. She's a keeper for the rest of my life. (Summer weekend car) Looking to buy a house and then a truck next. Those Chevy Colorado ZR2's are nice. 26 years old here.

My 15’ M3 goes back in April, I was getting offers from BMW to pull ahead. Visited a few dealerships, and had my broker working on a 18 M3 comp package car. My wife was in the process of turning in her Grand Cherokee lease fom another one.....then this happened.
Same sticker price as the M. So far I’m in love. 2018 Jeep SRT (not the Trackhawk), just the plain old 500hp one. |

As stated multiple times, my QV has been 100% reliable over the past 11 months and so have my friend’s Quadrifoglios too. The warning light issue that was written about 10 months ago was just a start/stop issue solved with a quick software update, and the complaints from a few journalists was completely overblown. My Alfa has been more reliable so far than my F80 was.

Moved to GT350 from '15 F80 (and '12 GT-R before that)
Pros: Fantastic suspension, sticky in corners, precise and satisfying steering, better manual shifter than any BMW made in 20+ years, aggressive looks, cheap maintenance, strong residual values. Absolute blast to drive and real driver's car. Cons: Cheap interior, racing stripe looks immature, crap stereo, no heated seats with Recaros, 15 mpg mixed use. Engine has to be throttled to get to the torque. Final analysis: I am in love with this car but I do miss exclusivity of my GT-R and its turbo torque. Don't really miss my M3 except for the utility it provided with 4 doors. After losing $17k in 2 years of ownership, probably my last BMW. BMW has to stop catering to leasers and shore up the residual values of their M cars. |

Out of all the cars that I have owned in the past (includes E60M5, 996TT, 997TT, 981S, E92M3, C6Z06) I think at this point in my life, I'd go back to the GT-R if I don't go GT350......also looking at C63AMG Coupe. |

After 3 years in an F series I went back to the slower more visceral E92. I am enjoying it very much but I am considering trading it in on a GT350. It kinda seems like the natural progression from the e92 and what the M4 should have been engine wise.
Above: the racing stripe is an option and can be easily removed. I see more Gt-Rs riding around than I do GT350. Youll pull all the teenage boys to you in the Gt-R tho. |

I'll probably keep my 2015 M4 for two more years until its paid off, but as of today these are the cars I'd consider. My criteria are roughly $100K or less, must be a track beast, and would be nice if it held its value ok. A few on this list are over $100K in the hopes that in two years they will be in budget.
1) 2016 M4 GTS ($110K) 2) 2015-16 911 GTS ($100-120) 3) 991.1 GT3 ($130K) 4) 2018 Camaro ZL1 1LE ($70K) 5) next M4 ?? 6) M4 CS ($??K) 7) 991.2 C2S Couple more, but might be tight fit at 6'4" 290lbs 8) Cayman GT4 ($105) 9) Corvette Grand Sport ($75K) 10) Viper ($80-120K) 11) AMG GT S ($100K) Any other thoughts?
