They also made less e90 m3s than the e92 coup, and made zcp for only one year on the e90.

I've been on the search for the right e90.
They might be collectible for that reason, but as a daily proposition, I think the E9x looks better on paper than in reality. I was so close to buying one several times, but the rod bearings, idle control valve, throttle actuators, etc. put me off along with the abysmal fuel economy and not-so-hot 6MT.
Reliability does not make a car desirable or "collectible". The driving experience does.
