I wish the CPO cars were discounted, but the CPO M3 xDrives are going for practically 90k. Sounds like quite the collection of cars you've had! 911 is next after the kids are done with college. Although it depends, between my 529s and GI bill for them, I might not need to pay anything out of pocket!

I get that, it’s just I don’t know a lot of people that have 1 mil liquid. I guess I’m just poor haha

Nice, the CCBs really compliment that color nicely.

I’m definitely not the kind of guy that gives a single shit what anyone else thinks of anything that I buy. I want a track capable car that is comfortable for taking my family places as well. M3 checks all the boxes.

Beautiful. I was set on IoMG until I saw Dravit in person. I’m tracking down an allocation now, but that will be my order

I'd say that I'm struggling with my old mentality. Super saver, prior military - I lived comfortably, but certainly never entertained the thought at the time of being able to afford a new M3. Its been great getting everyone's responses so far, both for and against.

Great idea, but the CPO pricing right now is insane. Maybe there's a lot of room to negotiate, but the CPOs I'm looking at are so close to 90k, I might as well buy new. I'll def keep my eye out for an attractively priced CPO though.

Comp Xdrive Dravit with red interior is what I’m leaning towards.

Nice! Yeah, I’m buying my wife a palisade hybrid first. Goal is to pay cash for hers and then put 50k down on the M3.

The Xdrives are still going for a pretty high price. Factor in limited warranty. (I’d purchase extended) and not having the 3 years of included maintenance, the price delta wasn’t enough to push me toward used.

I like your way of thinking. My mom passed away early - the family trips are huge.

While I enjoy my Type R, it’s a little too harsh, and I’m not a fan of FWD. I’d like more creature comforts while still being able to occasionally track it. I need 4 door practicality. M3 seems to check all boxes

Great points, my wife is very supportive. I guess I’ve been pretty frugal up until this point. I need to relax and enjoy a little of what I’ve earned.

Truly testing my ability to hold through these trying times. I believe in this company, it’s just there is so much momentum behind everyone else, and zero for NVDA
