Leasing may be OK for some people. I just take exception to the advice that says leasing saves money b/c you are not tying up x amount of money. I think there is no truth to that. Leasing will cost more than buying and keeping the car for 60 months.

You imply that you're paying cash for the car..WHY? That's downright idiotic with interest rates where they are. My bank is offering 84 month financing in the high 4 low 5% range with strong credit and that's 84 MONTHS...the rate gets lower as the term decreases.

I have about 60k saved up for a new beauty, and it needs 4 usable seats
so far i've looked at a m3, s4, and a g35
and typically, i'm leaning towards the m3
but i'm kind of tired of bimmers so I'm also looking at Mercedes also, and the clk500 also looks nice, what do you guys think?

G35 and save the rest so when the next gen m3 comes out you can trade it in if you want. Is the 1 second gain in acceleration and better handling worth another 25-30k to you? NOT ME!

I am still leaning towards the m3, and I don't really want to get a first year production car because of the many problems first year cars always have. I'm going to wait till december and see then.

03.5, 04's were not subject to this action. I've had zero problems with my 2004 M3. I now have 18000 miles - it only had 10 miles when I bought it. It's been very reliable.
Shouldn't have any problems whatsoever with a 2005

You know what... check out a 6 series, those cars are sick. I have a friend w / a 645 ci on 22's, Hamman body kit that car is off the hook.
6 series is a sweet ride. It's available in SMG or MT6! They are also in the 70-80k range, but it was worth mentioning. Have fun shopping.
