I don't think the M3 will hurt too much, those M3's really hold their value in the long run.

I can kinda relate to this but not in regards to the depreciation part but more on the part of taking care of my cars and being hesitant to drive to certain places ... I know with the 911 (and the R8 when I had it) I do not drive to certain places with it.

One thing for sure I never drive it out to dinner because I'm not letting some valet drive it and going to the mall is out of the question, I would worry too much that someone is going to ding it.
