If it only happened to the Z4 M, then yeah, I agree. Financial crisis hit us all hard.
But it happened to the Z3 M Coupe as well. They didn't make only 5xx S54 equipped Z3 M Coupe for North America because they wanted to, it's because it simply didn't sell. Did you know that the Z3 M with the S54 has the highest Horsepower per Weight in LBS ratio of any BMW ever produced?
Yet no one bought it when they're on the lots.
I guess it's good news for those of us holding on to our Z4 M Coupes, because even though sales were horrendous, people DO recognize a fantastic combination when they see it. E86 M prices have been holding steady at $30K for a decent example and slowly creeping up. That's 10 years after production has ended and it's holding approximately 70% of its value from new.
Like I said. No one recognized art masters when they're alive.
