wait to see the reviews of the new g80, then if they aren't up to your liking the prices will have fallen more for the outgoing f80.

Need some more info. Is your current M4 non comp? 6MT? I wouldn't wait for the G80/82 and see early reviews and get CPO and not get that depreciation hit. Also, your options go from M340i to M2 to M5? Those are big jumps all over the place...

Take over another M3/M4 lease for 6 months - 1 year and get the new G80 when it's out.

Yes, awd for sure. Bigger/smaller doesn't matter but prefer coupes. Yes, can afford all of these cars. My limit is $200K or less.

The new G8x with M xDrive is going to be seriously lust worthy if you want AWD so I bet you'll want one. What to do as a bridge though is really tough. I would probably go Porsche for a stint if the money isn't an issue although supposedly you'll forget about BMW if you own one! 992 C4 GTS would be my choice. 991.2 if you want to save some money or would want to sell after a year. It might be difficult to go back to 991.1 NA motor after having an F80 TTI6.
When I think about a new 992 though, which I personally cannot afford, I still feel like I would want the G8x because it's more the every day car with a less flashy badge. Porsches are too much in the toy category for me but here in Seattle people hate cars so I feel like a jackass even in my E92 M3. |

Based on your car history, it sounds like you need to get the 992. No question.

I would say by the time the car comes to market and in particular your market. It looks like around 15 months.

I am leaning towards 992. Plus I will be one step closer to get into GT3/GT3RS once it releases in 2-3 years, my ultimate car

It's the next step. If the M3 pure turns out to be a legend, you will have plenty of time to get one after your 992. Honestly the only other car you might consider is the new 718 GT4 coming out with the N/A 3.8l 420hp flat six. That car is almost a guaranteed future classic.
