The resale value is based upon supply and demand just as the original sale value is. If, in the future, the supply/demand ratio of non-ZTP M3s is less than the supply/demand ratio of ZTP M3s, then the resale could theoretically be better for the former than the latter. Granted, there is no way to know if this will be true, but it is far from impossible. For example, if EDC tends to become problematic (and this is just an example, people) then EDC equipped cars could suffer in value.

I would recommend not sweating resale value and by the car that is right for you. Just my 2 cents.
