Some "collector's" may very well look at your car as a cheap version missing much of what brings together the full package of an F8X
There's a reason why cloth and lack of technology is highly preferred in collecting - the materials have to last 50+ years, leather doesn't hold up and collectors want unrestored. This is on top of the fact that the original M3 had speed cloth. In 25+ years we'll be using a brain interface like Neuralink, I don't think the HUD will be impressive (which would likely be broken by then). Complicated electronics don't last decades - do you think car collectors want to collect computers?

Even if everyone has autonomous cars, there is always a market for vintage. Gas cars being banned just means new cars can't use gas, not old - same with non-autonomous being banned.

EDIT: And look - I didn't buy my M3 to collect it, but if I was collecting cars I would want cloth, 6MT, iconic cars.
