Isn't that part of the rationale behind M1BJR tuning an old 335 instead of buying an M3?
The latter starts to look a bit pointless, unless new...

) The cost of ownership (even maintaining the BMW warranty as most M3 buyers will do) for say 3 years is maybe £5k/year ish including depreciation. I am not familiar with what Steve put into/got for his modded 335 (or what the next owner paid to buy and fix the emerging 'wear' 
) but I would think it is in the same ball park. I don't think he bothered with the warranty but he had his fun 
Out of warranty and warranty BMWs are different markets imo.Gad's Audi values are I think for slightly older cars?
Once you are into the insurance-type warranty/out of warranty, you are into shed territory - I don't see any middle ground.
It's knowing when to get out before it hits 'shed' value.
Or buy a GadShed® and wait for it to explode...
