Ital Auto's F cars sold after sep 2010 get 7 years free servicing / maintenance except wear and tear items like tyres.
Stuttgart's Porsche cars get 5 years.
M cars from Munich Auto get 5 years....
maintenance costs should not be an issue in this case.
F car FTW!!!!

Re: Which would you rather buy?
Not saying that I am faced with this "tough" decision. M3/M4 is in this mix becos it's new whereas the exotics are used. To some, they can never bear shelling out so much $ for a used car. Some would rather buy a spanking new car for around $400k instead of a used exotic at $600+k even though both are within budget. I used to belong to this camp, but lately, am having second thoughts. I do however, fear that once u start on exotics, u are screwed for life. It might be tough to go back to driving Ms and AMGs i think. Has anybody done that?

Re: Which would you rather buy?
Personally I don't see how this problem will exist.
With an F or P car, you will still need a sedan or 4-door car. That car could be a BMW or AMG. Assuming that even if you have no kids or parents to ferry around, you still can't really use an F or L car as a daily drive for 99% of the time (assuming you only have 1 car). Even if you are not discouraged by the frequent visits to the kiosk or the FC eating away your wallet, you will soon find that driving a real performance car with suspension stiff enough to feel every coin on the road quite a pain. Not to mention the inconvenience of getting in and out of the car (low ride) and the numerous carparks which you can't enter.
So as exotic as a car might be, and as sheer driving pleasure it gives you, you will probably look for a second daily drive car. That car might just be a M5, XM6 or an AMG wagon. So you can always go back to Ms and AMG!
