I loved the arguments I got into with people in 2016 about how the M2 would not be worth $30K in 3 years. Of note, if you leased one, the residual was close to $25K (and you were not a very smart person - even if you owned a business or had other silly excuses for leasing).

Short story, the car has held its value - even better than I thought it would (and I think someone from Toronto owes me a dinner).

As noted, it probably increases the value. They are rare and those who want them, want them. I know I did in 2017 but the product planner for the BMW M2 in NA felt "that was not in the spirit of the car" - even though other markets (including Canada eh), got them. I LOVE when product planners tell us what we want.
