Personally, M3 is a little too small. F36 is the perfect size (not too big like a 5'er), has 4 doors, and a huge trunk. Tune it up and you'll have as much hp as an M3, without the rough/track-like ride of the latter.

I appreciate everyone's reply, and it's pretty much what I expected. I'm gonna keep an eye out for a CPO 440 as they come off lease/loaner cars or whatever else, but as long as a couple life events happen I think I'm just gonna order my first ever new car in the next couple months.
440xiGC in carbon black, track handling package, MPPSK from the factory. It will still be a great car to make holiday trips in with the wife, dog, and cat, and my trips to work will be a whole lot more fun. |

Anyone have any idea when the next gen 4 series is suppose to be released? Want to get a f36 435i now but don't want to overspend on one if I know that I will upgrade to m440i.

Count with approx. 1,5-2 years down the line.

So, I found a used model with everything I want essentially. 2019 MY, track handling package, its just not anywhere near me. The only option would be to ship it to me, which adds to cost, but is the only option.
Anyway, as mentioned its a 2019 MY, with in service date in Dec. 2018. It was a loaner fleet car, but beyond that is there anything out there i should watch out for? This would save me about 9500 off ordering myself a new one, and really helps with that initial depreciation hit. |

Is it too far to just fly out and drive home? I flew from South Dakota to San Diego and drove back 21 hours. While it seems like a lot, it was a very enjoyable way to get accquainted with the new ride! Not to mention 31mpg was very easy on the wallet. I would probably advise a clear bra if going that route. Also, it doesn't hurt to run the carfax just incase there will be anything that is either a deal breaker or a negotiating point. If it says fleet vehicle on the carfax, usually you can haggle a little more.

What is the "track handling package" comprised of? We don't have such a package in Europe.

This car has just over 4k miles on it. Only in service for 5 months now. It's essentially a brand new car for about 18% off sticker. Everything SEEMS pretty great about this except for the fact it's not local. |

Cool. Then I can claim I have it as soon as I lose the RFTs

Upon further inspection it doesn't have a HUD which I really like having. It's not a killer, but now I'm questioning it.

I missed the fact mine didn't have the driver assist, to put the speed limit in the HUD as well along with adaptive cruise control. That stings. But I don't think I'd go for one without the HUD. It's up there with comfort access to me.

HUD is a definite "nice to have", but not more than that, to me at least.
It has limited scope and application and I can't say I miss it when I drive my Audi, which doesn't have one. When driving with polarised sun-glasses it is gone anyway. So my advice - don't let it be a deal-breaker. If I have to choose - the full digital instrument cluster is a much nicer feature, although also quite limited on the F3x.

I do a lot of road trips when life permits, and having the real-time arrow and directions on the HUD is amaaaaazing. I just didn't see the reasoning for settling without it. Congrats! Post up some pics!

If you use the nav often enough - it may add some benefit. But since I rarely ever do (and even then prefer an actual map rather than just directions), all the HUD gives me is the actual and maximum allowed speed. Information readily available on the beautiful digital cluster.
I would be totally pro-HUD if it showed RPM and gear. This would support sporty driving. But unfortunately too limited now and just a (nice-to-have!) toy.

MHD stage 2+ with dp and IC will probably get you +100hp. Way more with bugger turbo.
