This is car buying 101 why on earth would anyone buy a 2012 or 2013 M3 knowing that the car is going to be replace and its in the LAST YEARS of production, i mean you bought a 70k car that was guaranteed to become obsolete in 1 year of ownership, to summarize: irrational decisions, but to each his own
The E92 has won just about all of its reviews and I almost took an RS5 because I had just sold my 2011 S4 (nice car), but I wanted to experience this vehicle. It has been great to be able to experience the car for the values that it is known for (though not perfect, but what is): V8, steering, no mechanical issues or problems, etc.

I knew that a new design was coming down the pipeline (something always is), but now I can say I experienced both the NA and FI. I look forward to picking up my new M4 as I have my money and spot locked in at the dealership. Whatever I sell the M3 for won't make a difference and by this time next year I can compare and contrast the virtues of both. I plan on buying a lot of cars and other things through my life and in the end I really enjoy all of the vehicles I have owned or will own. Life is good and no complaints from me.
