I'm always thinking "What can I replace the 335i with when it's time is up?" - I knew 400bhp was there with a bit of tuning and my 07 e92 was just over £10K. This appeals to me on a similar level - bhp/£ with a bit of hopeful depreciation.

That said, an e60 m5 is now £15k if you're brave!

Pick one up secondhand. They will depreciate faster that a used condom.

It is hideous. Kinda looks like an evo or something Asian on steroids.

It does look a bit 'rude boy' but I bet is shifts. I would also like one but you would get every dealer trying to race you in their souped up Jap mobiles.

Is depreciation really that bad?

Nice used 2009 cars cost £17, 000 which isn't far off 50% of the new price.

After 4 years that is good in my book.

Because you are a Neanderthal?

Cars with any of the following words "Australian, American, Muscle" anywhere near them will ultimately make a lot of noise and fuss but be a bit shit.

Considering nice 2009 cars cost circa £25k pre-registered in 2009, I dont think they depreciate too badly

My car is worth pretty much what I paid for it 18 months ago

2 year old GTS's sell at about £41-42k (current model) and were £54k new

They are limited numbers and only imported on special order, so depreciation wont be as bad as the uninformed try and suggest
