They lose their value rather quickly:

Also, episode 5 of the Neutral podcast has a lot of BMW goodness:

The podcast is basically a bunch of programmers and tech geeks that decides to start a podcast on cars. Amateur enthusiasts. I dig it.

I know they lose value quickly. The M6 is the worst car on the market for that. But I'm not dumb enough to buy one if I couldn't afford the loss.

Worst on the market or best depending on your perspective. If you buy a relatively new 2 or 3 year old model you can get an incredible car at a comparatively great value. When I buy my next car, a three year old BMW will be on the short list of cars I check out I'm sure.

Yes when I say that I'm going to buy one in 2017 I mean that I'm going to buy a 2014 that is three years old. Wouldn't buy a new one.
