    yup, typical modern-day M buyer. For every 1 true enthusiast there are 10 buyers who are (foolishly) looking for an investment, or care more about side mirrors and engine codes than how the car actually drives. Why people have to be shitfucks i will never know.

      I can't understand why anyone would buy any modern BMW expecting it to appreciate.  A lot of the market on M cars is cyclical but I can't think of any modern production model that has greatly appreciated beyond original asking price.  The 1M has the greatest outlook but any large appreciation wouldn't be for another 10 years at least.  That's the 1 (no pun intended) modern BMW that I can think of that hasn't depreciated.

      Of just M cars made in the last 20 years, have any really taken off in price?  Would anyone have made money on the value of the car if they purchased something new in '95?

        I like how the one guy said he might cancel his deposit and wait now because of this haha

        "It won't be a short run, low production car like I thought, screw everything else about it"

        This was my thought on buying one. Now that I know that I will be switching to getting on the list for a m4 gts. That for sure will make money if I can still get on the list for only $10k over msrp.

            The best investment is learning, I heard people can become rich this way.

            I still want this car, but would rather get the 4gts

              The M4 GTS is a mere 3x as much as an M2....

                  can live in an M4 GTS. Cannot drive a home to the race track while retired.
