I'll take a closer look at the M235i. I visually think its too small for me. But I've never sat in one. I also do love the 6-series! But that might be just escalating maintenance costs, I dunno... time to research.!

No. I'm doing this to partially save some money. Grad school starts in May! Fun, right?

I know, I know... I honestly haven't driven a stick since I started driving. Everything I ended up with had an auto and honestly don't want to bother. Sport mode can be fun

Plus, at this point, it's unlikely a decent Z4 M Coupe with low mileage can be had for less than $30K.

This and the 1M were the last hydraulic-steering M division products. They had a classic BMW feel which will never be replicated.

ah good point on the automatic! i didnt even realize that combo wasnt available. pricing wise, youre probably right for a low mileage copy, although my cars.com saved search occasionally returns them for under $25K with less than 60K miles...

There are plenty of them that has had accidents where the damage is enough for insurance company to write off based on their book value, which is typically much lower than the car is actually worth. Heck at 13 years old, my insurance company probably thinks the car is only worth about $22K. Which makes me nervous every time I drive the car in public...But that just adds an extra layer of excitement trying to dodge mall crawling G-Wagons DWA in my neck of the woods.

I still think that an M235I will be the most fun for the dollar. Not an M2 but still a lot of fun to drive around town.

I would remain in the reliable year old car still well within warranty and put the 30k into low cost Vanguard Index Funds.
However, I am sure that is not the answer you were looking for. Best of luck, cheers! |

Never really looked at the M235i's but just did some autotrader and carmax searches just to see what's out there... not too many within 100 mi of central florida but they do look nice in Blue or Black! Maybe a low mileage 2015/2016 would be fun. I'll have to go drive one!
