Back in the 60s you could purchase a new car run it for 12mounths and sell it for more than the purchase price as there was always a weighting list for a new car. These days it is very different, BUT maybe the 1M is the exception.
I guess time will tell the story The little 1M is a magic car though.

If, and I say if, it does appreciate then I really feel for those who bought an E46 M3 CSL. $250,000 new and a year later down to $150,000.

Berrick Lynton has bought the 1M press car that was put on its roof last year by one of the Aus' top gear guys. Saw it in the workshop stripped back to bare shell with a new turret and being prepped for class c racing. He will compete in next years Bathurst 12 hour production race. Will have a full Akrapovic exhaust and some very trick KW coilovers as well as the usual full exploitation of the, ahem, rules.

Saw the engine out and a rather disappointing drawback of the right hand drive version is that there isn't enough room for the steering column to clear the rear header pipe before the turbo ( I think it was ) so BMW in their wisdom crimped the pipe to enable clearance. Erk!

Needless to say this is an item that will be rectified. No problem with scrutineering as the LHD version has a nice open uncrimped pipe so it is factory spec'.

Car will be ready for track testing by September.

But that car is a dealer car, so a dealer is actually trying to sell it for that much!?

Yep dealer demo with 4500kms.

To be honest if I was told this is what a 1M cost, I would have bought it. I still think there is nothing better for under $150K.

I'd take a Cayman S easy if it was $131k.
