I'm keeping mine until something better comes along that I can afford. Probably going to be quite awhile.

I am actually still happy with this car after 4+ years (new high score for me).
Thanks to the G82, looks like I'll be keeping this one a lot longer...

I've had my 5-1/2 years now. I'm not one of those who thinks they have to have a new car every 2 or 3 years. If the G82 is as ugly in person as it appears in leaked photos on the Internet, I'll take a pass and keep my F82. If I had room in my garage for another car, I would probably get on the list for a Corvette C8 and yes, keep my my F82 M4.

I've also had a modded 996 turbo for a couple of years now, and it has been a lot of fun. I guess I'm going through a phase where a mid engined, high power naturally aspirated V8 feels like more of an upgrade than another Porsche |

I lease, so I keep my cars for 36 months. Except for the X5 that I had prior to this CS. Got rid of that after 24 months because the A/C was so horrible. Luckily, timing was on my side as the deals on the CS were insane.

I absolutely love the CS. Probably the best M car I have had in a long time (had an F10 M5 before the X5 and a few M3s prior to that).
Sadly, the residual on the CS is $58k and I just don't think it will be worth that in another 18 months when the lease ends. Right now, the X5M Comp has my eye. With 3 kids under the age of 11 the M3 is kinda small and a part of me dies each time my daughter says that she likes my wife's minivan better because they have more room. I'm #1 on the list for the M5 CS, should that ever come out, but who knows what that will even be like. 18 months left on the lease so I am sure I will change my mind a lot while trying to figure out what to get next.

This is interesting topic...
Just recently I was contemplating... My car is 2016 and currently 7700 miles on the clock. My commute to work is only a mile and I drive it every couple of days and on the weekends, I try to put on about 30 miles or so. I've taken pristine care and I can't see myself selling this car... but (everyone knows how it goes... us car guys... always looking). I've had many different vehicles but keep coming back to M car... perhaps this is a sign and keep this car for a little while... |

Fill it up with family, haul your stuff, and accelerate with an m5 from a stop light. I’m drooling with anticipation for something like that to be my dog + family hauler and tow rig |

Right now my plan is to keep the car for a total of 6 years. I have a 2018 CP MG M3 that I picked up on lease and it's used only as a weekend and warm weather car. Therefore, the car only gets around 4500 miles a year. So far the car has @13k miles on it.
My lease is up at the end of Jan 2021 at which point I plan to purchase it and take out a 3 yr loan. Once that's up I expect the car will only have about 30k miles. My goal is to work my way into a 911 turbo.

the reliability of this car is going to determine whether i keep it for the next 2 years or the next 5 years. More about hating having a daily driver in the shop/dealer versus the actual cost as i have an extended warranty. |

40k+ miles and the only issue I have had was the intercooler had a minor leak that was replaced under warranty. The car has been beyond reliable needing only regular maintenance

I lease a new car every three years. I own a business so this works for me. This is my third M car. I had a 2013 E92, a 2016 F82, and now have a 2020 F82. I'll probably lease the G82 in a couple years.

Some don't know or see M3's and they'll ask what's an M3. So yeah I'll be keeping this 2016 F80. If the G80 looks good and I can get a Sunroof and 6 speed and full leather and it's in my budget I'll get one. If it looks as good as the F80! |

Once the dust settles a few months into the production of the G8x M, this is how it's going to be. Always lease the newest M car because why wouldn't you, given how good M car leases tend to be. That's how it is with almost every BMW release there is.

Zero problems thus far. :knockonwood: I only drive about 4k miles per year though.... I'm just a tad under 20k miles right now.

When I "connect" with a car I keep it. I've got an '03 e46 M3 and and '09 997.1 911 Turbo. I love the F80 styling and the small mods I've done to it. I plan on keeping it forever.
I would love to add a mid-engine sports car to the stable once the F80 gets paid off.

Usually keep any given car until factory warranty runs out, but I love the F80 so much that I am planning to buy extended warranty and keeping an additional 2 years from now. Time wise, anywhere from 2-4 years.

Forever. I'm aggressively paying off my 16' in 2 years.
After it's paid for, I'm adding a 18' ZCP DCT in Tanzanite Blue. For me it'll be 2 of each to tinker with, 6 speed stripper base model, and a loaded Comp package with DCT. |
