BMW M3 Forum (E90 E92) - View Single Post - Is it true that a new M3 is actually cheaper than a used one?

I know this guy that has tons of experience with M3s and BMW, and his advice to me was to get a new M3, or one that has less than 15K miles on it. Reason being is that the maintenance is expensive and also a big reason why most people abandon their cars at around 30-45K miles. He went to add that it makes little difference in savings whether you go used or new, since it all pretty much evens out, so might as well get a new one. Can anyone back this up?
