Says the wishful thinking 1M owner.

I don't see a used, 4-5 year old 1M going for sticker price.

There is no direct comparison, but similar models would be the E36/8 S54 M Coupe (~700 total produced for NA) and E86 M Coupe (~1800 total produced for NA). The big difference being these were produced and sold for 2 and 3 model years, respectively.

There was just an article in the June Roundel about buying a used '06-'08 M Coupe "Going, Going, Gone" (sub title: "There's a narrow window of opportunity to buy one of BMW's most perfect M Models"). $57K MSRP, the article states $30 to $35K for a 2007 model with 15K - 20K miles. Unfortunately, not a good comparison since the M Coupe was a slow seller and discounted by dealers.

Time will tell. I agree it might not depreciate as much as a M3, but not depreciate at all, I think you are dreaming (as I was accused earlier in this thread).
