Do you think the E46 M3 is a future $100k car?

I didn't read the entire thread, but if Enthusiast Auto Group hasn't been mentioned you might try them to see what high-buck E46 M3s generally sell for at retail: https://enthusiastauto.com/bmw/m3series/e46-m3.html.

You are right, I liked when they posted the actual price though.

I saw a pheonix yellow individual with an awesome wood interior that worked on cinnamon interior the other day with less than 800 miles on it. I dont think the owner was selling, but that could be a contender on the open market place.

It's already happened (before this car).

It looks like EAG bought this car. Makes you wonder what they're going to try to sell it for...

This 97k mile 02 SMG Coupe with a clean carfax just sold for only $16250 on Bring a Trailer. Market could be cooling off. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2002-bmw-m3-226/

In fact, the same car sold for $17k on BAT back in July of 2020 with 95k miles. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2002-bmw-m3-142/

I know in limited cases they have pinged 100k. When CSLs are federalized here I am sure someone could sell a prime example for well over $100k

Heck a "fake" Lime Rock sold way too high recently.

So the question is not "could an example ever fetch $100k?" directly but more like

Look at the prices of E30 M3s when they were hitting their peak. Almost everyone was near $100k. Now they made a lot less of them, but the question for me is if the E46 will be like classic M3s where almost all that are in working condition start inching towards the $60-80k territory and then the real quality examples are the ones that go over $100k.

Maybe after the recession now.

Is one posted?

The first CSL that gets posted in America (that is legalized that is) on an auction site I could seriously see getting bid to mid $100s just based on supply, demand, and rich guy exclusivity by having the first one and the only one (for a short time)
