Just wanted to get some thoughts and input on buying a new 335i Coupe M-Sport. I have a pretty good deal, well invoice + some credits, but my concern is with a new one coming out next year, am I shooting myself in the feet to loose a boat load in depreciation? I mean Im not being naive, I know a new car looses cash the minute it drives away, but in context Im wondering if I would be better off buying a 335is or a 535i M-Sport, the latter (5 series) is a different machine altogether I know, but its a new model......

Either way I know Im going to loose cash, just wanted some thoughts on this as Im also considering an Audi s5/s4. I just sold an 08 335i for 29k which I paid 37k for back in Feb 2009... basically got 25k miles usage out of it and lost around 8k + finance charges, so not bad.

you should have kept yours until the new body style came out. Anyway I would drive them all and buy what you like most and not worry about depreciation. The 535i is too big and boat like IMO. The 335is will probably hold it's value well due to the rarity of the car. I'd buy the S4 personally but thats just me. Good luck!

I think getting the new body style too early is a mistake. Look how long it took to work the bugs out of the E9x generation. I think your purchase is a good reliable predictable move.

The coupe won't be replaced next year, only the sedan. If i were you, I'd probably get the S4 as well.
