I'm still really enjoying my 1M and whilst the prices may drop slightly when the M2 comes out, I'm still going to be in a good position overall given the lack of depreciation over the last 3 years.

If the M2 turns out to be a superb car (which I'm sure it will), then I may reconsider, but that aside, it's still nice to own one of the very limited run 1M's
I will be forever pissed that I didn't get a 1M - the timing was off for me, as I was mid-lease on my 135 AND I did a poor job of planning....

I think 1M owners are in a great position, as you have an awesome car to enjoy as you see the development of the M2 come to pass. I also think that there will be plenty of people wanting to pay good money for a 1M, even after the M2 is released.

Being a limited production car, and basically a cult classic already, there will always be a market for that little beast.
