If you buy what you really want in the first place you won't have to worry about swapping it out in 2 years.

I agree 100%. Took 2 week vacations to Europe the last 2 summers which were amazing and the kid loved it but I have been dozens of times and I was willing to give one up this summer which would be about 2 years depreciation.
The G80 is INSANE, so much fun AND I have not even had break-in yet. So worth it. M3 road trip vacation this summer!
Also I work from home and this wont be changing! My direct commuting costs (parking, commuter train + subway) and my indirect costs - eggs at the diner by the station every day, lunches and dinners in the city was more than the nut on the MONSTER. My rationalization is FREE CAR for working from home!
