When the e46 was introduced, there were laguna seca demos sent out to the centers. No word on whether or not they will do that this time around. If you have an order there is no chance you will have an "ugly" color unless you order it for yourself. There won't be extra M3's sitting around on lots. My center has the first 12 sold already. Management said I could have slot #4. Fine with me, I'm paying $500 over invoice.
As far as depreciation is concerned, I'm not worried. This is an M3 we're talking about, right? I think this BMW will have a higher demand than the M5 and M6 because it is relatively more affordable and well, it's an M3. Although I do not agree with centers that mark up BMWs, it does have a positive impact on resale. I will still be able to sell my M3 a year after I get mine close to the original MSRP. The demand will still be high and I predict centers will still be taking orders for M3's that won't be delivered for months later. If you want an M3 from me, I'm taking orders for model year 2009 already or you can have my slightly used 07 at the end of 08.
