DO IT!!
The M3 is a supercar and the new model doesnt come yet and it wont have the screaming sixcilinder which really is a beast and no V8 can match that kind of aggressivness.

however much i love the m3 i would say NO. Think practically, is a 2door coupe really good for you and your family (gf or whatever)? also with the new model 4-6 months away, you would be faced with considerable depreciation if you change your mind

I love the E46, but couldn't live with an outdated model.

For me that would be a no no.....regardless of cost or penalties, if any. The reason being that the new body style M3 is almost here and I personally hate buying a car just to have it replaced by a new body style soon after. As a matter of fact I have a rule of not buying a BMW if it is going to be replaced by a new body style within 3 years, let alone in less than a year. At the same time I know many people who have told me that if they like a car they could care less about a new body style coming up, although some of them have regretted their purchase once the new one has come out.
Just my opinion
Good luck

No, I wouldn't do it. If I had wanted that car, or a similar one, then I would have purchased it in the first place. I would take the deal if the car were a new M3.

OK. So I have the opportunity to get into a brand new Interlagos Blue M3 completely optioned out w/the very sought after competition pkg. The sticker is 62k. I can also simultaneously exit my lease w/ no penalty as a friend and coworker is salivating to take my car. My question is, would you do it? I already know which way I'm leaning and I'm 95% there in my head. Curious as to your thoughts.

M5 must be the answer
As long as the monthly was not costing anymore and they give you a guarunteed residual I would say do it.
M3 will be a far more enjoyable car than the 530i.
But only if the deal is right.
