They're going in the mid $40's right now at auction...

haha isn't that the truth. mid 40's is pretty decent. I'd assume 3/135's are very reasonable then.

M3's seem to have taken a much larger depreciation over 1/335's. Why I'm not really sure

Good to know. Out of curiosity, do you know what fully loaded 06 M3s are going for (a general range is fine)?

[Sal@AUTOcouture]

from what I've seen....they're passing at auction in the mid $30's

I think the 08's have been hit really bad because they were released around the same time the economy went to crap. Honestly, i'm waiting for them to get in the $30k's(coupes) and then S/C that beast and pay half the price people who went brand new and then S/C payed. I'm angling for an 09 with the new Nav though.

im not in any rush.. i was just curious. IMO, given my current situation, its worth more to me to buy a CPO thats a year old rather than a brand new one. after all, i just got a new 550.

In the $30k's, not $30k and i'm in no rush. Loving the 335. I'd go for the next gen M3 except the next gen 5 series and 7 series look hideous and it might be the same for the 3.

$47k

you can find them cheaper however a nice loaded one is still hard to find (good color combo, loaded, etc).

that sounds fair enough to me. ill probably get one at the end of the year.
