Given he said that, the next question to ask him then would of been "so how bad was the mark-up you paid on it?"
While the 1M was a limited production car, it's still a "parts bin" car. It might not depreciate as fast a a regular 1-series but it will not see the slow depreciation of a Z8 for example.
If he thinks the value will rise I would suspect he is delusional in trying to self-justify the fact he paid more than MSRP (or blue book if he bought it used).
