For example, I had the option of one M3 on the lot (happenstance as the person who ordered it couldn't purchase it) and 4 M4's ready to take my pick. For someone like me who goes through cars relatively quickly, the rarity aspect bodes better for value retention.

Finally, M3 is an icon, the name itself is an icon and has significant history attached to it. So I wanted that as well.
100% the same. Also the G82 looks too much like a Mustang in my eyes (albeit a better looking and performing Mustang) - the F82 looked so nice as a coupe. The M3 heritage is also something I really like...despite the whole 4 door thing lol.

(I like the tailights of the m3 more than the m4) Also, I was speccing both of them to see which one I like more, and I added the exterior carbon package on the m3 and m4, is the m3 carbon diffuser is partially carbon or is it partially matte carbon and partially high gloss carbon? Whereas the m4 carbon diffuser is full carbon (I added pictures of my final specc for both of them and would like to see which one you like more).

Reasons why Im considering the G82:
⋅Coupe
⋅Has 4 seats, same as the m3, so Im not losing any seats if I go for the m4.
⋅ The exterior carbon fiber option is better on m4 than m3.

Reasons why I dont like the G82:
⋅ The m4 is elevated a little too much, probably would lower it a little if I purchase it.
⋅Dont like the tailights

Reasons why I like the G80:
⋅Better looks than the m4
⋅Already low to the ground
⋅Like the tailights of the m3 compared to m4

Reasons why I dont like the m3:
⋅Not a coupe, which is what Im interested in

Final speccs of bot cars:

I always been a 2 door Bmw guy and since they brought the M4 to world, I really don't like the curbs and look of M4s.
No rear M fenders like they are suppose to have. Look like a mustang too much. It was a no brainer for me to order a M3 for the look, retains value way better and bmw has made its name from M3, not M4. Both carbon package is the same btw.
