I don't think I'll be running out to buy a new 135i to mothball as an investment.

I agree, it seems ridiculous to speculate on an item which, 99% of the time, depreciates along a well known curve. If you hold onto it for 20+ years, it's because you love it, not because you see it as an investment.
