    do you mean the bmw m coupe that came out in 2011? That is a nice car but looks like they're really holding their value, going for £50k on average! looks like it will only go up.


    for the m2, I think the competition package variant will hold its value and overtime possibly rise.
    would be interesting to see how the last gen v8 m3 holds up in value as they are the last naturally aspirated v8s. I think they are at a all time low now and should slowly start to creep. this happened to my old 6 cylinder m3, the prices are slowly going up

    The Competition variant is the regular car now - you can no longer buy an M2 - and it'll be made in as many numbers as they can flog :)

    As you say, the V8 M3 seems to have bottoms out on price, because of it being the last of its kind. Another one to watch is the Z4M Coupe. Already making big money.

    I dont think any regular production run M car is likely to go up in value in any useful timeframe - too many being made.

    I completely forgot about the Z4m in my list! Luckily I've had a chance to experience that engine already.
    Come to think of it I missed out on the s2000 as well...
    Thinking I might miss the wife's Renault megane with its comfort...
