Default S50/54 M Coupe prices

Whilst browsing, I noticed the stratospheric rise in value of these weird little breadvans. Also, a good read on PH about their fall and rise. £20k+ now is just extraordinary for one of these, barely believable. I'm doubtful the E36 M3 will follow this value rise, however - you just never know!

Not for me I'm afraid, the M variant is ugly but non M variant is even worse - its one of the ugliest cars BMW has ever produced and dated terribly, the e46/e39 M variants still look pretty good today.

Rarity but i wonder if they sell at that. People seem to be insane about old cars atm

The E46 is a corker, the CSL is the rare one and they fetch good money

You see lotus here and there that are on the market for ages (multiple years) when either crap or above value. The good stuff goes in days, the shit is sussed. I expect the same applies here.

I thought they were pretty niche. I keep rattling on about em but will try one when i retire i think

Yours, aside from colour, looks pretty bang on..

Spoilt by my bullet proof honda though. And in 2.5 years the BM has behaved too though it needs a £200 battery now. If you sit in it switched off the dvd whirrs away and it makes little electronic noises..

I drove one of these a few years ago. Good car let down by appalling tyre noise.

I hate the blue black seats and the mismatched switchgear. Gotta love it's hunky looks from the non descript rear though. Good effort from bmw this one. It's different

Z4m coupe is benefiting from the interest in the Z3m coupe.

Dealers have been inflating the prices of decent low mileage cars for the last year and the values of private sales levlled off last year and have been starting to increase.

I'm sure the fact that there weren't that many made has a lot to do with it and is why the run of the mill M3's won't go the same way.

I think mint, low miles E46s will be worth money one day as most ate work horses

But i'd not touch an en vogue motor at the min, its waiting for a crash i think
