20 years from now, which F8x is going to be the most valuable

[Slowphiveo]

I'll pick one you don't have on your list, and only 750 units made...and because I own it. The M4 Heritage Edition! 😜

[NSX2M4]

Shouldn't the M4 heritage edition be added to the list as well?

Well, the fuel for your watches won't be getting more scarce like the fuel for your M as the decades pass. Granted, in 20 years it'll still be around, but your guess is as good as mine in the cost of a gallon of gas and what price hikes it might see in 20-30-40 years.

Simple. It will be the rarest cars that have been well taken care of and not modded. All you have to do is look at the prices commanded by cars such as the E30 Evo or the E46 CSL. So the top three in order will be:

1. M4 DTM Champion Edition (only available in Europe)
2. M4 GTS
3. M3 CS

Initially I planned on picking the F80 Comp 6MT but based on how I've seen the following factors pan out I've had a change of heart:

1) 2-Door vs. 4-Door
2) Link to Motorsport
3) Rare features
4) Serviceability

Currently, in the US atleast, the F80 is king of the F8X's but historically 2-door cars have done better than the 4-door variants. Obviously, this is prospective as it would be happening in the future but "past is prelude" as they say. In addition, the F8X coupes have a more direct link to Motorsports as the huge majority of teams/series use the F82/F87. Rare features seem to drive the prices and in the case of the F8X that appears to be CCB. Lastly, with respect to serviceability I believe this factor favors the manual transmission.

It obviously requires some balancing because one factor affects the others in almost every instance… for example, DCT is clearly more closely linked to Motorsports of this era versus the Manual transmission which is more serviceable. Likewise, CCB's can pose a serviceability issue but the most expensive examples will have low mileage so I see this as a smaller matter than for a daily driven car.

Ultimately, I'd have to go with:

1) M2CS/6MT/CCB as the most valuable F8X overall
2) M4 Heritage/6MT/CCB as the most valuable F80/2
3) M4 GTS

I think the F80 will be worth more than the F82. But as stated previously by other members, the e9x will surpass the f8x market.

Good luck finding a GTS at $80,000 right now. Only with 40,000+ miles. All trading at $95,000+ in the US and $150,000+ in Europe.
Last one sold at Barret Jackson for $128,000 last spring.
My choices:
M4 GTS
M3 CS
M2 CS 6MT (Had to slip this one in…)

Perhaps I'm being overly negative about the fact that about every 1st world country has mandates toward eliminating ICE engines, some with very aggressive schedules.

Enjoy what you have.

Wrong analogy on the watches. Used Rolex watches are reaching record prices year after year. A used Rolex Daytona could be found for $20,000 two years ago, now at close to 40,000 for the same watch. Same with other top mechanical watch brands.
Limited edition BMWs will go up in price, not down.
Chinese collectors are entering the market and love vintage BMWs.

[Maitre_Absolut]

fix your list I aint voting for no f80 M4 cs

[NSX2M4]

I’ll vote now for a non tuned version fetching the most. Every part on all these models can be ordered and installed. For now…

[Bluer2]

1) M2 CS 6-Speed (This is the holy grail of the F8X platform)
2) M4 GTS
3) M2 CS DCT
4) M3/M4 CS
5) M3 Competition 6-speed Individual Colors

[IB M]

M3 ZCP 6MT and M3CS because M3 is icon to BMW like 911 to Porsche

M4 GTS because production numbers and unique hardware.
