E30 M3 values have skyrocketed... whether that trend will happen with the E36 or E46 remains to be seen.

It's unlikely but i strongly believe the E46 M3 is a timeless design and still after all these years still highly desirable.

I doubt the US E36 prices will go to the moon, we didn't get the S50B32... which you can now bring into the US from over seas.
E46 prices will probably rise steadily.

There were WAY more E36 and E46 imported to the US than E30 M3.

Coupe 6MT slicktop E46 M3's with cloth interior in a rare color may become collectors items but not any of the other ones. Well except E36 LTW.

Looks exactly like my brother's car. APEX ARC-8 in 18x9.5?? What offset did you go with?
Also, is that blue and not black? Fairly certain that's the same color as his too.

Apex ARC8 in 18x10 +25. Wrapped in a set of Michelin PSS 265/40/18.

Carbon Black has a bluish hue to it in certain lighting. Jet Black is black.

Installed a carbon fiber lip today. Hopefully it lasts.
