Well the M2c and the new coming M2 CS will always push the M2 OG down...just wondering what the delta will be between the bottom price of a CPO m2 OG and a slightly used M2c.
If the delta is only like 7k it might be worth it just to get the M2c with the s55 engine and m4 seats.
I'm hoping the M2 OG will follow the e92 m3 depreciate scale but i think the depreciation line won't be as steep as the e92 since the M2 2016-2017 supply seems kinda low compared to early e92 m3 numbers. |
I don't think the demographic of the people interested in buying these cars used in 5-10 years is going to care about production numbers. As in, they're not going to seek out an OG M2 specially for that reason. Those people are probably looking to get into an M2 at the cheapest price point possible because it's now fallen into their budget range.
This isn't the type of car which is going to appreciate in value, unless you're talking in 20-30 years and the car is in mint condition, THEN you might have a negligible interest from super enthusiasts. |
It for sure won't appreciate. I also don't think people are looking for it because of low production numbers. Low production numbers drive up price because inventory is low and it's hard to find what you want. E9x are starting to get old, high mileage, and the engine has poor reliability. The people in the market for the E9x will slowly shift over to buying a used M2. I was actually in the market for one but with the discount on a 2018, I wasn't ready to deal with the older technology and possible engine maintenance.
Look for a used E92 and you'll find it a bit difficult to find exactly what you want with low miles. While the low amount of options, only 1 interior, and 4 color options may make it easier to find inventory, I think the 2018 OG LCI is what people will look for. The 2018 is produced in limited numbers as people stop ordering them as they waited for the 2019.
No car should be purchased in the hopes of appreciation. That takes years unless you buy a car with production numbers below 500 like the 1M. But even then with interest and insurance, your at best breaking even. On top of that your worried to drive the car because you don't want to put miles on it.
I would say 6-7 year before we see any M2s dropping below 30k. |
I am thinking it will follow the resale for e36 m3. Difficult to find clean examples. Easy to find abused or high mileage ones.
