It's a great car that was universally well reviewed (with the notable exception of Randy Pobst), and hardly any were made. The fact that the E82 had a bit of a cult following helps too. It's a very distinct car, and there aren't a lot of others like it.
Having said that, if I were a 1M owner, and hoping to make a buck, I'd get out soon, because I don't think the 1M values will hold up forever. The M2 is a very similar formula, and in a design that is less polarizing. I think the mass-availability of the M2 is going to hurt 1M values. The formula is so similar that it'd be very difficult for anyone to justify the purchase of a 1M at $10k-$15k over original MSRP when there's an M2 sitting at a dealer just a few miles away.
