I owned a 2011 135 and then jumped at the chance to buy the 1M, also a 2011. I paid $41K for the 135 and $51K for the 1M and had both in my driveway and both with payment books for 6 months.. Thank goodness I was able to sell the 135 to a fellow 1Addict.
According to Kelley Blue book, using private party sale pricing and the exact same options as I spec'd out each car the same, the 135 is only worth $30.8K in excellent condition while the 1M is worth $57.5K...so what started as a $10K difference new is now $27K difference used two years later.
I like that....
It's also worth noting that the DCT in my 135 added no value to these estimates and the value of the 6MT was the same at $30.8K. So DCT was an expensive option that gave no residual value on trade-in/selling.
