Default E46 M3 Depreciation

So I hear the new 335ci Coupe should be coming out soon in the next month or 2. How low do you think the E46 M3s are going to be with low miles? I think right now they are going for 36-42k for 2004 and up (around 20-40k miles).

At this point, I feel it's time to get a different car. Looking for something sporty that'll seat more than 2.

You will see another decrease with the e92 M3 as well. If you're in the market, hold out for a couple more months.

Just as when the e46 M3 was released, the E36 M3s hit rock-bottom prices. They're finally starting to barely appreciate now... but I suspect the same to occur with the E46 M3 upon release of the E92 M3.

Also, if taken care of, the BMW M cars hold their value pretty well.

What's rock bottom?

Any guesses on realistic prices?

E92 335i's have already hit dealerships Saw one at New Century BMW over the weekend

I would still rock a used 2004-2006 E46 M3 over a brand new E92 335i

Saw some 2005's on ebay with less than 10,000 miles for under $46,000. I'll probably pick one up in a few years.
