Ferrari has constantly changing body styles and are consistently among the most valuable classic cars although they are produced in much smaller numbers than BMW M cars.

I think it is very hard to predict what will be coveted 30, 40 or 50 years from now just as 45 years ago nobody was predicting that a 1971 Plymouth could be a million dollar car.

In any case I don't know of any recent (last 40 years) BMW model that could have been bought new, properly maintained and sold for a profit. The Z8 may be the only exception.
