On paper, Z4M stacks up really well against the competition, nothing overly negative in the reviews, I read that owners love them. So why are they depreciating so damn quickly?

The Z4M roadster was on the short list for my next car as I had a Z3M and loved it. I know that you shouldn't choose a car on its potential for loss but I'd have to completely avoid the classifieds or conversation with anyone who’d bought one for a while!

I have a mate who's a dealer (albeit in the north) who buys in used stock from a BMW dealer and he’s had a few offered at prices entirely disproportionate to the rest of the M range. The market is saturated with M3's which are barely any different from the next yet they still sell well.

What am I missing here?

Thanks.. It's good to get some educated feedback. In talking to the dealer friend, he had mentioned that they were all the same colour which seems to be the norm for BMW management cars.
