[///Mangler]

until it makes sense to gut it, cage it, track it and out the e30m3 racecar away for special events.

[FLOSS M]

36 Mos, like the last one, and the one before that and the one before that ......

Most Likely 2021. or when a gt3 in my price range comes up.

Been enjoying her too much 1k miles in 10 days since i got it.

I usually keep my cars 2-3 years max. However with the M3 I might be buying out after lease. Reason, car only has 7k currently I am not giving my back to bmw (Jan 2020 End of lease) with such low miles. Probably will hold on to it until the new G8x releases.

[Dan1125]

I will keep it until I reach 50,000 miles, same as I did for my M5 and 911

[Mapo]

2016 M4 all paid for and will keep until extended warranty ends and if my pocket book can afford another one ( especially since I justed purchased a 2018 Cayman S to tool around in). Best of both worlds

[jc05e46m3]

2020. Then F90 comp

[eRocks]

Forever.

[bmrwrld]

For ever and ever.

i've had it since March 2015 and very much regret not applying a bra to it as the paint is shot after many, many track days.

i've considered getting the bumper repainted or replaced, daily tires are due for replacement, some nicks in a few places of the interior from tracking/transporting equipment...

this has led me to the idea of just getting another car in another 6 months. unfortunately its a limbo time period for getting a car as the next year or two we'll be seeing the 991.2, mid engine C8, supra, etc.

so yeh, by the end of this year we should see the announcement of the above mentioned cars, their specs and performance, pricing, and i'm undecided on what to do.

Paint on these gets blasted on rear quarters even without track days.

To those keeping it forever - invest in a full clear bra or at least front and lower panels all around.

TRUTH! I have an Individual Frozen brilliant white and I have 2200 miles on it. The only reason I’ve not done PPF is because I live in Arkansas and I don’t trust these HILLBILLIES to do the job right lol.

Until then I will enjoy the hell out of my M3 every day!

I like your thought process man. People going from M car to M car but in reality it's the P that they really want.

[bhimpele]

Until the day I die. Or when the new one comes out in 2020

[Bch53211]

Until the lease runs out then time for a new one. New one every three years.

[M3BeamerVroom]

When my lease ends which will be when new generation comes out . Plan on getting another

Like one poster said "until I can afford a 911"

Going to keep it for another 3 years then look into the G80 or the Alfa QV.

[canukgtp]

at least 6 years...but honestly thinking about keeping it for good...by the time I'm interested in trading, where will I find another small-ish 4 door with a manual...nowhere!

[seis-speed]

Depends how good the G80 is, but F80 is kind of a perfect daily, 4-doors, 6MT, fun, practical....

I really want a 911, but I have a hard time giving up the full backseat and trunk.

I had a 997 Turbo and sold it because I needed a real back seat. So now I have the F80 and love it and plan to keep it at least 6 years.

I love P-cars, but if i get one again, it would be to add a Boxster to the M3 not replace it. If the next M3 comp blows my mind and comes with a stick, I may get one f the last ones of those if finances allow.
