I have owned it for 9.5 years. Has 33,000 miles on it. Mint garage queen. Everybody thought it would be a classic. They now sell for $20k. While this is alot of $ for a 10 yr old car still far from classic $. Less than 1/2 of MSRP new price.

Yes Instant Classic for the 1M.
The difference between your M Roadster and the 1M is this. The M Roadster was considered an ugly duckling with it came out and many of them found themselves on the dealer's lots waiting to be sold at a discount. However the M Roadster is just now being sought out across the country for low mileage originals. Hang on to it for a while longer you will most likely see it appreciate.
The 1M compared to the M Roadster was in Very Big demand long before it was even built. This is why many of us put a deposit on our car's 1 year in advance just to get a spot for one. It takes more than just low numbers to make a car a Classic. The 1M has both low numbers and Big Demand.
