I know, two different cars all together...

I have a 335i now which when the lease is up I will walk away from. I know with the (actual) residuals being so low, its not worth buying out. Plus I'm not keen on turbos past warranty... With a new 335 being over $50K, I'd rather save some cash and buy used.

So, I'm thinking on of the two cars above.

I like the thought of the M3 as it's a sports car and it's fun. I love speed and handling. But I'm worried I'll get one that may have been abused and repairs and maintenance will be needed often.

I like the 7 Series as it's large, comfortable and has all the amenity's. Granted it's not a sports car, but day to day it may be a good choice as it has more trunk and interior room. Less of a harsh ride and such.

Any thoughts? Things good or bad about either?
