How long do you plan to keep your M3/M4?

Speedwell-Industries · 07-18-2018, 12:56 PM

Hello all,

How long do you all plan to keep your F80 M3/F82 M4??

How are you all enjoying your cars so far?

Aaaaaaaaa · 07-18-2018, 01:00 PM

The day my lease ends

anamnesis111 · 07-18-2018, 01:03 PM

I don't know how to fix cars so definitely 3-4 yrs max. Not keeping it beyond warranty.

chetrickerman · 07-18-2018, 01:04 PM

Its paid off, so forever

This guys got the right idea

Great experience thus far; especially for my first BMW.

Unless Bmw makes new M with DCT, otherwise I will keep this for very long. I don't like the down shift of ZF.

zamboni · 07-18-2018, 01:29 PM

At least 7 years since I got the extended warranty.

Aaaaaaaaa · 07-18-2018, 02:06 PM

Thread started off pretty good. No doubt will degenerate into lease vs buy argument pretty soon.

ByeFelicia · 07-18-2018, 02:13 PM

The long haul.

Yup. And for good measure, DCT is so much better than 6MT. Why would anyone wanna do any work?

MicaCeli · 07-18-2018, 02:14 PM

At least 10 years, but as Yoda said "Always in motion is the future"

Poiseuille · 07-18-2018, 02:24 PM

probably 7-8 years and likely longer. this is a picture of my 540i on the day i sold it, 17 years after i bought it. drove it the day before and it still made me smile.

I lease my cars for 24 months. So my current 2018 M4 will be returned by Dec 2020.

Looking forward to newer M4 by then

M3BeamerVroom · 07-18-2018, 02:56 PM

Got another 12 months in my 2016 m3... Since there won't be a new model m3 for couple years debating m4 or just buying out end of lease wait for next gen m3

Same. Why deal with any repair for any car beyond warranty if you can avoid it...

You may have to wait. Though the newer M4 won't drop until 2021 as a 2022 MY (could be wrong)

captainaudio · 07-18-2018, 03:46 PM

I intend to keep my 2015 M4 for 4 or 5 more days.

My 2018 is at the port in Newark, NJ waiting to be transported to the dealer on LI.

I will keep that one for three years.

'Cane · 07-18-2018, 03:51 PM

The plan was to keep my 16 M4 for 3 years, then do another M4 ED summer of 19. But I got a really great deal on a 18 M3 ZCP and I couldn’t say no. So now I’ll try to keep this for 2-3 years.

2 SLOW · 07-18-2018, 04:05 PM

Hopefully more than 2 more years. I really enjoy the car but I get bored after awhile.
