i loved my M3 , i was the original owner too so it was hard to let it go. I bought it new in 2008 so i had it 5 1/2 yrs which is forever for me.
When the new model M3 comes out next year it always kills the resale value of the previous model. The e92 depreciated the e46, which did the same to the e36. Didnt want to hold the car another year and it drops $10k in value.
Selling the m3 was about the same price as the Exige S. Next year the m3 would have gone down 5 or 10k and the Exige appreciate a few dollars, so next year they are $10k apart in price instead of an even trade.
