In Reply to: How many of you bought a 3.0 over a M? and why? posted by JK on November 05, 2000 at 11:05:28:

the great thing about the 3.0i coupe is that it's available now and you could drive one really soon.

but the difference in weight and difference for insurance is miniscule. it's a bmw and they're renown for being expensive to fix. the weight difference is 100lbs. is that significant? i guess so.

now, when we speak to pricing. the new 3.0i is damn expensive and with options, even more so. more customizable? yes. you pay for that. you cite lower APR on the new car. true. the sad fact is: coupes depreciate like peugeots do. so, if you can stomach the first 18months of depreciation and say that lower APR makes you feel better. okay. but personally, since most M coupes are garage queens, i would rather let someone else pay for the depreciation.
