I think the E9X is in an interesting spot.
The appreciating E46 M3 only further puts the spotlight on well maintained E9X M3.
Who buys a 30k E46 with 100K when that type of money gets you a clean E92 M3?
As a caveat, the E9X market still needs to go through its 3rd "cheap as hell - run it into the ground" type of owner that will take cars off the market, forever.
Usually those tend to be lesser desirable cars anyways (08s and all the wrong options). This is happening now as you can find some beat up examples in the teens.
I think as we move along in time, the mileage aspect of these cars will become less relevant and proper body & mechanical maintenance will be key. This seems to be happening in the E34/39/46 world.
I ultimately think well maintained, LCI and ZCP E92s will forever stay above 30K, no matter the mileage.
