Oyinko has created a spreadsheet to compare the cost of buying a Model 3 vs keeping his M235i.
Comparing the cost of ownership of a Model 3 AWD ($19,280) and P3D ($23,920) vs the M235i ($22,650), the numbers are very close. Although the price of the Model 3 (both of them) is higher than the M235i, the total cost of ownership is only 3k of difference for the AWD and 9k for the P3D.
