I was about to upgrade my 14 F30 to a 17 CPO F80 2 years ago but then decided not to get a same body style car. Then I started looking at an RS5 Sportback last year but when I knew the G80 will come in AWD and is expected to be more powerful, more aggressive & offer a better driving experience than the Audi I thought I'd wait an extra year or two. And here I am now still over a year away from even test driving a G80 |

I have owned multiple first year M cars with zero issues. The "working out the kinks" thing isn't grounded in reality based on my experience.

After getting both a first year e90 M and a first year F80 then owning later years of both generations I would personally wait. I had a bunch of ticky tacky problems with both my first years plus tons of upgrades in 09/16 respectively.

I always wait a year... BECAUSE..... the lease price a year out is about two thirds what it is if you need to be the first to drive it.
If you are patient and smart you can drive the best BMW's at a mere fraction of the cost. You just can't be the first guy on the block with the latest and greatest. I've had a LOT of BMW's... twenty something. Did not pay too much for any of them. |

What are you talking about, you can easily pick one up... Paul Walker's estate sold two recently at only $220,000 and $165,000

I've owned two BMWs as first year model runs. Both have had issues that were common in first year runs. However, warranty was able to take care of them. It is annoying to have to leave the car at the dealership.
Keep in mind, a lot of lessons learned will be sorted out in the second model year. In fact, most second year actually comes with extra equipment. Case in point, the G05 X5s. Currently, I'm interested in vehicles that have gone through a LCI.

Yes I got it. For a lot of people aesthetics will be eclipsed by performance. I believe it will surprise quite a few people
