There was an ATS-V that popped up on the used market in my area with just 5k mi when I was looking. It had all the goodies and it was a current year car. Mind you, the car was less than 1 year old and the hit was $20-25K!. That gave me pause; I understand depreciation mechanics but this was pretty breathtaking.

The ATS-V is a seriously capable machine though. Even to this day, I think its on par with the M3s.
The thing the M3 has going for it is it's the most winning DTM car of all time. Even though that was like 30+ years ago, it's laid the groundwork for BMW Motorsports. The name itself is highly recognizable in the car world. It needs no introduction. It created its own league, it's THE benchmark. I could go on and on, but you guys get it. Not the same could be said of any other model from it's competitors. Let's see if they manage to ruin all that within 1 generation or will they be able to recover?
