3 AWs and 1 VO have been arrived HKG and waiting for emission test. It should be delivered by the end of June. Can't wait to drive it.

The price is cheaper than a brand new E92 335i and costs about the same as a 135i Cabrio.

I have no idea about the resell value in the future. Price is the only thing attracting me to place the deposit without any consideration. I don't think I could really get a brand new M car at under 1mil in the future and I am not willing to spend more than 1mil for a BMW M car instead of a Porsche.

Regarding to performance wise, I would say M is M. Maybe a 335i with stage 3 ECU tunings, downpipe and FMIC could beat the 1M on straights. But the feeling of driving a M car should be very different given to its reputation. Tuned 135i/335i vs 1M sounds like the old debates on E92 335i vs E46 M3.
