Good thread, OP! It's bringing up different ownership plans and intentions, based on diverse owners' needs and desires.
My own plan, like a couple others', is to keep my G82 till Spring 2028 and replace it with another, late-production G82. I'll purchase a service contract this summer to bridge between the new-vehicle warranty and the replacement timeframe.
I daily mine, ~13,000 miles/year, and can't imagine another vehicle which fits my needs and desires any better (even a 911, TBH). I have the benefit of many years' driving and many BMWs driven. I believe we're enjoying our "E39 M5" moment with our G8x. Next-generation M cars will be hybrid or purely electric. They'll be faster and more efficient but will lose in exchange other attributes we hold dear. The best antidote I can imagine is a "last call" M4 as we collectively know and love.
That gives me 5 years to decide on drivetrain and color combination.
