Well this should help...

excellent news. i think we have seen some early CSL and Bats exceed the 150k mark. we are starting to see standard CSi / CS sell in the above 50k range.
 
Careful... now parts and services just got more expensive

How many of you actually bought your E9 as an investment? I bet for most, it will only be an investment for the family member who inherits it! Still (sigh) wondering where my Bavaria fits into all this.

Maybe we should each buy another one! Further driving up value

Bav's are great cars. They've gone up in value significantly. When I sold my last one the market was $1000 for a 100% stock, clean, rust free, fully working car. Back then a full on stage two Bav with a stroked motor/headers/triples, rust free in excellent condition might go for $3k. Same cars should be worth $10k/$20k, no?

Woohoo! Finally! Another 8 years or so, I'll be a genius, providing I can stay ahead of the tin worm and the Fed stops the printing presses.

Now, how do I abbreviate "told u so" on my vanity plate?
 
I wont be telling my wife either

" your going to race that thing "
" well that's what I built it for "
" ughhhhh, whats wrong with you "
 
Just skimmed the article: 40% in 10 years is less than 4% annualized return. Not a very good investment, I'd say. How about those classic cars that have tripled or more in value over the past decade?
 
Question

Could anyone realistically see someone buying an e9 solely as an "investment"? I mean for the sole purpose of purchasing, watching, and then selling, like a stock. I think we're more likely to watch it disintegrate in front of us than simply appreciate (hopefully) and pay a dividend. I don't think that's really what the article is suggesting but the choice of words and the reality that these things have to be maintained and driven seems a little queer to me.

- and maybe it's just me...
 
There are a few examples of the writer's lack of car knowledge, like the "i" in CSi being a "more potent system" and not mentioning fuel injection.

But it's still good press.
