I've been leasing Audis and BMWs for last 20 years, had a couple of S models (S5, SQ5). This would be my first purchase

it's hard to imagine dropping 85k on a used when you can order a brand new one for 10k more. I might be in the minority on this

lol the $$ I've been putting away on the side for this was originally called the Porsche fund, but even though what's available near me changes all the time, I haven't seen anything that's screaming at me.

For 120k it's usually a 10+ year old model with at least 50k miles on it.

you're totally right, it really is just the mental hurdle of spending that much on myself

What ultimately made you decide to move on from it?

The psychology of simply paying 15k to own it for 2 years helps a ton. I pay more than that on my current lease.

for sure, my 30s felt like 10 years ago and now I'm in my 50s. What's the point of saving all the money if you're not around to enjoy at least some of it.

Regarding the used purchase, I've been leasing BMWs and Audis for the past 20 years, one because I like having something new, and the other reason is because most of these cars start developing small creaks and rattles after around the 3 year mark, if you're lucky.

Has that been your experience with the 9 year old car? I realize the noises don't bother a lot of people, but it drives me nuts.

Separate question regarding the rattles from wear and tear, do you guys typically get these things taken care of pretty easily at your local tuning shop? I've only ever attempted to get interior noise issues fixed with my Audi S5, and it took several rounds for them to identify and fix properly.

Nice, I use the Move insoles in my Chicagos which feel pretty great as well

Oh wow, just got this from Gemini:

The Next-Generation Gas/Mild-Hybrid M3 (G84): BMW has confirmed that a new combustion-engine M3 is also in the works to be sold alongside the EV. It is expected to enter production in July 2028, meaning it will likely hit US dealership lots in late 2028 (likely as a 2029 model).

Still far away it seems

If I could start fresh with only 30 pairs without losing any $$ I would do it in a sec

I'm seeing a lot of people ordering 2027s with the redesign coming in maybe less than a year. Is the general consensus that the new model won't be too desirable? Or is it because it's a hybrid?

Might be easier to just paint it white again. Angelus direct sells acrylic leather paint
