When I purchased my 2018 M3 comp I leased it with the idea of a buyout. I kept the car pristine, low miles, PPF etc. At that point, I had already seen some of the leaks of the G8x, and I was not too interested in BMW's design language. Right now, I have a deposit and order down for an M2 CS which for my driving is going to be the preferable car. Rarer than the M3, shorter wheel base, and slightly less weight.
On the other hand, you have the G8x which has controversial looks, weighs a significant amount more (like BMW stopped trying amount), appears to have less tuning opportunities if the new ECUs are actually used anywhere in the generation (I hear off launch). To me, the G8x is more of a grand touring car at this point. Great highway driver, awesome 0-60 and 1/4 miles for those drag racers out there.
I'm looking for a purer driver experience and I'm willing to give up some "cool/flex" points for that with an M2 CS. For me, it's going through with that or keeping my car after the lease ends next summer.
That said, I'm not one to judge other individuals purchases, so for those who are interested in the G8x, I hope you enjoy it in good health.
