What I meant to say

Yes, the M3 does attract the boy racers in the uk who not necessarily can afford to maintain them & then need to offload them. Next step up the ladder possibly a csl. It's just that I know a lot of people who buy E45 M3s & then struggle to pay for basic maintenance, but they can say I own a M3

& the other race winning E9 CSL too took over 40 years.

Enjoy it today, the value of the memory is priceless.

Too true

yes, they increased the money supply somewhere in the region of 4x since that time so......

totally agree and maintenance is already cheaper than the porkie when you have a major service. Thats probably why they tend to avoid the Porkies. Even myself I find that when I factor in service costs etc. (yes, I'm a cheap bastard and penny pincher too) I'm not totally hot for the porkies, although I always buy my cars outright and have no issues in maintaining anything this side of a lambo. Things like Pagani are out of my league and comfort zone though.

When majority are in strong hands, the price will certainly reflect this BMW master-piece. Its a truly modern day E30 M3. Still pretty dame rapid!

Ha ha...true! Just thought it was interesting that after a long winter with very little chat about prospective values, there are suddenly multiple threads/articles in various places...the moment the sun comes out!
