That's my problem...M5 can move in a straight line, but it's pretty far removed from anything related to a sports car. My brother in law, who knows nothing about cars, and I mean nothing, said the car never felt quite right...and that it was too much motor etc, for that size car. Personally, I really enjoyed the M5, but the M3 and M5 are completely different animals. He had the 2014 Comp, and it handled and stopped very well, but you could feel it's size a little, which is to be expected. It's a lot more car than the M3 in my opinion, but I don't really need the extra horsepower, luxury features, and such...although I know my wife would prefer it coming from her Lexus!

A few times I've been close to $0. Example: I bought an 06 M5 for $31k, sold it 18 months later for $35k. 01 M3 for $34k, sold it for $32k 18 months later. People always think I'm an idiot and losing a ton of $$$ swapping cars out. Little do they know I'm spending less on M cars than a Camry lease ha ha Always make sure you have some type of warranty Color combo is key to resale. OP: your logic is sound. But dont just go for the cheapest one possible, these cars will have good resale. Spend a few more $$$, get something nice, and you will get more when you sell it too.

I noticed last night, in a tired stupor, that the M3's are asking/fetching bit more than an M4's on resale. Any clue as to why this might be other than some of the more obvious reasons?

But I'd imagine that the used M3 and M4 demand would be proportional to the new M3 and M4 demand?

I figured supply and demand as the main reason, wondering if there was anything else that could cause it. So odd because the e90/2 body is opposite as the coupes fetch more! In the words of GrussGott...Bubble Butt!

There is a slight performance difference between the e9x generations coupe and sedan. Also the coupe had CF roof where as the sedan did not. There is essentially no difference (other than # of doors) in the F8x generation.
