C63 has a loyal following as well, but it’s all about personal preference. Performance-wise, M4 and RS5 are really neck and neck. I’d say the sound of the AMG gives it an edge in the feels department!
Exactly! Each option has its appeal. However, high depreciation rates might scare some buyers. How does the M4 compare in that aspect?
I read somewhere that the first year typically sees the sharpest drop for luxury cars, but BMWs can be surprising. Maybe looking at historical data can help gauge that for the M4.

That’s true, but I feel like the demand for M4s might shield it a bit. Anyone have specifics on the numbers? I’m looking for data before making a decision!
I’d say a depreciation rate of 20% in the first couple of years is pretty standard. However, I suspect the M4 might edge below that with its fan base. Worthwatching when the 2024s hit the market!
You may be right! It’s exciting to consider how the M4 fares in the used market compared to its peers.
Who knows, maybe the M4 will become the classic of the future! Just imagine a slightly weathered one cruising back on the roads in 20 years. A collector’s dream!
Now that’s a thought! If they keep generating buzz like this, it could very well be a future classic.

And in the meantime, enjoy the ride! Life’s too short to worry about depreciation rates all the time! Just giving you a reason to go for a drive in that beauty.
I’m also curious about the depreciation rate for the 2024 M4 Competition. Any insights? It’s hard to tell if it’ll hold value well.
Generally, luxury sports cars like this tend to depreciate faster in the first few years. BMWs typically lose about 20-30% in the first three years. Just something to consider!
A buddy of mine had a 2022 M4 and he lost quite a bit after two years, but it was still fun to drive! Love the looks of the 2024 model.
The 2024 model is definitely a stunner, but resale value will fluctuate. Factors like mileage and condition matter immensely!
I’ve been following discussions about the M4. It seems like the more limited the edition, the better it retains its value. Any thoughts on that?
Limited editions usually do fare better, but the M4 is popular enough that demand might keep resale values decent too! Just weigh your options.
I think it’s a good investment for the thrill alone! Who wouldn’t want to drive that beast? But be aware of depreciation!

Absolutely! But the financial side is key too. I’d suggest reviewing previous resale values for more insight.
How does insurance and maintenance factor into your investment? Those can add to total cost and affect your bottom line!
Great point! Insurance for a luxury car can be quite high. Make sure to budget for all aspects, including depreciation.

Plus, the market can be volatile. One year you might get a great price, the next it could tank!
