I'm also not solely looking for this to track and it will be my daily driver so driving dynamics is important but I want some gadgets and comfort too. M3 always seems to be my natural ending up point.
I'm very serious about buying this one. Been leasing and it's fine but there were a few cars I really fell in love with. I think this will be one for me.
Current Lease is up for me in September of 2021 so plenty of time to see one in person etc.
Yup the Porsche tax is real. I was cross-shopping a Cayenne to my X5, and option for option the Cayenne was $20k more - and even then it was missing a few options.

Porsche's also don't lease very well, so you're pretty much forced to purchase whether you want to or not. I used to purchase all my cars but these most recent ones I've decided to lease and I think I'll continue leasing. I love my m340 but I know I'll start getting the itch in another couple years to see what else there is.

I'm also very serious about the M3 and am hoping in a year or two we'll start to see some really good incentives and discounts.
