Jury's still out.
In my eyes, an F8X lowered on perfectly fitted 20s is one of the best looking cars on the road today and will be for the foreseeable future. It's also hands down the best looking M car released to date. The look back factor is huge for me. It's crazy a commuter car with its humble roots does this. My only real complaint is the tightness or immediacy that connects throttle/dct/sound. I wish somehow they programmed it to sound as close to 99X GT3. I'm not talking about sound as in how it sounds per se; rather, it's more how when I shift up or down the sound also snaps with zero or minimal latency along all 3 fronts. I can get it to do it under partial throttle under certain conditions. Holistically, it's a smidge off target. Maybe others can relate to what I'm talking about. So long as it remains reliable, it makes it tougher to let go because anything materially better is well into the six figs.

I may do the same. Had 4 E9x Ms and an M4CS and though the CS was more modern, handled better and was more refined, my last supercharged E92 was still more fun than the CS to drive. Ultimately manual > DCT, so a manual E92 M3 with a Harrop blower is as good as it gets for me, at least with the BMW offerings.

I really love the F8X but the G20/G80 isn't going in the same direction as I am. This will be my last M3. The F8X is at the size and weight limit to being fun.
I don't care as much about 0-60, I couldn't care less about stop light racing, I think it's boring as shit. So and AWD M4 doesn't really interest me. Right now I'm steering towards a 718 GTS 4.0 or 981 GTS. That being said I think I will still have a bimmer in the garage as a commuter car. I'd love an outgoing i8 if I can get a monster deal. Or I could get in yet another i3 (I'm on my 3rd). I'd also consider a Z4 because I've always wanted a roadster.

I'm not interested in something that size. I think it ticks a lot of boxes, but not the ones I would like in my next weekend/track/canyon car.

Nope had one of the original launch cars and then an “upgraded” comp pack. Never fell in love with either and haven't missed the M4 since I sold it.
On the flip side I still regret selling my low mile e90 M manual all the time. OP also asked about resale... yeah its horrible lol. |

.1s should be avoided unless you're really desperate to be in a 991 GT3.

3.8 with PDK is a tougher sell than 4.0 with manual for people who want a fun street car or who want keep miles low and have a gt3 around for a bit and then resale There’s a 10year 120k mile warranty on 991.1 gt3 and the lower costs mean more money for tires and entry fees if you will track the car hard (but then again, if that’s your usage pattern, you should consider getting a 997 cup and leaving at the track for even less money). |

The 991.2 engine is legit.

That’s a hard blanket statement to make.
I pulled my deposit for 718 gt4 and wasn’t rushing to buy a 981 gt4 after borrowing my brother’s at track days. I think you have to really aspire to the brand and be ok that you are paying a LOT for a given level of performance. |

I've had my car for ~ 1.5 years now, and while I still shop for new cars constantly, because I have a problem, I can really see myself driving it through the warranty period, which is early 2023.
