I would not expect these cars to appreciate like an investment. Beyond the current craziness that is more about the entire market than your particular car. I wish you good luck and good health with the rest of your pregnancy |

Four numbers: 991.2. Can fit the kids back there for a while in a pinch and you have a car for family hauling and family hauling at autobahn speeds with a smile on your face.

Ha!! You are just as bad as all of us. You say "Reasons why I’m thinking of selling is that I am expecting twins, and I just bought a Land Cruiser." Obviously you are keeping the M3 and the twins is an excuse. I'm glad you kept the M3. My advise: You have more power than you think. If you can, put car seats in both vehicles. He will teach the kids "limited performance driving" in the M3 while pleasing hos fantasies, and will be the bow-tied gentleman in the LC - either way, you win.

I've put my my wife and both baby seats with stroller and weekend luggage in my F80 and taken many family trips. Great memories and the car is very reliable.
GL in whatever you decide!

I found this thread here with some photos - might help OP. https://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...1044630&page=2 I think it depends a lot on how tall the passenger/drivers are.

I'd say sell it. Right now is a sellers market. You should be able to make some good money. Later on it will just depreciate more.

Congrats on the twins! Dad here and I love taking the kids out in mine.
Some opposing thoughts on comments to sell it. 1) Yes, you can sell it and pocket the change, but if you ever intend to get one again, it's going to be a long process. These are performance cars; there's always a question of history (what's been done it, what its been in) and how its been driven. I've been through this decision process. Something to think about as these cars are aging and starting to show up in non BMW dealer lots. 2) 991s? I thought seriously about those but ending with my current car, but aside from grocery runs, forget road trips. Don't get me wrong, I was seriously thinking about one, but passed because I test drove them and the practicality is limited. As someone with a family, its a specific use car or a car for a different phase of life. All the best for the pregnancy! |

Congrats with the pregnancy! keep the car! When I had mine, I sold my e92 m3 because it wasn’t “practical”. I wound up getting the itch the next day and found myself in my f82 shortly thereafter. You have a great second car with the LC, you will be able to keep the M without significant compromise. Best of luck!

You keep M3, and your husband can get the 'family car.' What does he drive? Sorry if this was mentioned already.
When my son was in rear facing, it worked well in my previous F80. 2 rear facing, a bit tougher, but doable. Just have one in middle, the other behind the passenger/husband lol |

My wife rocked an m235 when our daughter was 2 and had it for a few years. We are looking at making my M4 the family car as she is looking at getting into a cayman. Having an M3 is the best of both worlds. Enjoy the fun car that doubles as a family car. Congratulations on the twins and I will pray for you in your coming days

Had it's yearly alignment at the dealer and two guys at the sales department were asking me if I sell would sell it? It's a lowly base model with a six speed but they definitely wanted it.
After that, I'm taking it off daily driver duties and putting it out of the way. It's new home at sleep on a Ctek. So again, I would definitely keep yours. |

Anyway... congrats on the upcoming kiddies, best of luck with that. If you do decide to sell soon, used car prices are getting silly because of the shortages and just the economy and pent-up lockdown demand. I suggest you get a quote/offer from Carvana and see how that makes you feel.
