Thanks for the replies everyone. I realize this forum will be skewed, but even on the used market enthusiasts are more likely to search out and possibly pay more for a car they want. I also realize there is no crystal ball, 3 years ago who'd have thought we'd be in the market we are in today? I thought my $700/mo lease was a bit high on a $62k 340, but now an equivalent car is $950/mo to lease. So, to put it another way, if the market was back to normal would it be wise to assume a 3yr old M3 w/40k miles would be worth ~62% of MSRP?

I just looked up BMW Silver Springs since you mentioned they kept lowering the price. They don't list any new M3's, but curiously have 4- used 21 and 22 M3's. Is it me, or does that seem a bit odd?
