Potentially looking at this one due to color and spec with manual. Is it worth the high price?

I'd let my car go (including all the goodies I've put on) for roughly that, and I'm only at 24k miles. |

19 y/o and waiting on tax returns to shop an M3 - he's exactly the type of buyer I described that will drive poorly option'ed cars into the ground. |

Regardless of spec, it's a car meant to be driven. These aren't Ferrari's and can generally be had for $25-$35k which plenty of folks can pay cash for. I'm 35, have put > 20k miles in my two years of ownership at just over 40k miles. I love every second driving and I have absolutely every intention to drive this car into the ground both on the track and street. These are dumb "investments".

A $40k F80 will continue to drop to a point, then years from now when people get sick of the G buck tooth cars and so many of the F80's become affordable enough to be destroyed, I'm sure some people will start to want those cars as well. The E46 and E39 market confirms what you can probably expect for a well maintained E9X in the future. It'll be a few more years before you see super high mileage E9X 100k+ cars readily available for high school kids to start buying up en masse. Assuming one car has a better or worse depreciation curve then another isn't saying it's a bad investment, but its a good way to plan for total cost of ownership over a longer period of time.

Further, because I wasn't clear, I don't get the point of belittling a 19 yr old for a relevant and valid point. I find speculating on the future value of a mass produced car hilarious. Insurance, gas, maintenance, depreciation and for those that financed the car interest will exceed any monetary appreciation gained over the next 10 years except for the .05% EAG class cars. The e9x M3 is an awesome and mostly very affordable entry into performance cars. Just enjoy it.

Also not sure where you get your car loans but I can borrow money for way less than I make in the market. |

Yes, the ole "I borrow money because I can generate a market based return in excess of my interest". I'd rather invest in addition to owning my cars outright. That's the beauty of not dropping $100k... My point is less than 1% of owners will ever break even let alone make a single dollar in excess of what they've spent. It's a mass produced car. Enjoy it however makes you most happy.

Low mile E90 and E92's will always command a premium, especially as the years go by. These cars were universally revered when new and the styling has stood the test of time. Supply and demand always dictates price. Although these cars were mass produced they will continue to have a declining supply and the demand will always be high.
Just my opinion

One has to be naive to think that a 4L manual V8 M car will not hold its value in this day and age of electric cars and small displacement turbocharged engines. F8X or the upcoming M3 will literally have zero effect on E9X resale, unless BMW goes back to the drawing board and stops producing garbage, which is what they have been doing since 2013. F8X cars are not true M cars and will never hold their value (except certain uber rare models like the CS or heritage edition). Otherwise they'll get hit like a brand new S class AMG and depreciate down to nothing.
Low Mileage lime rock in DCT/6MT, 6spd ZCP E90s and '13 E92 ZCP with 6spd and CF roof in any color with sub 50k miles and sound history are virtually fail proof investments, especially if you can snag one in MR/IB/LMB or an individual color. right now and probably for another 1-2 years is the best time to pick one up... there are still enough good examples out there to keep prices reasonable but in a couple years they will start to shoot up as they age. I've followed the 46M market for close to 10 years now and owned one for 7 years. I've seen the trend first hand and the E9X will follow the same path. My 46 has raised 10k in value since I bought it.

Take a THREE generation old bone stock mint late model phoenix yellow or laguna seca blue E46M 6MT coupe to any dealership in the country and just park it in the visitors lot. The amount of attention those cars will get from staff and techs will give you a whole new perspective.
