I disagree. If I would have bought an E30 when I bought my E36 it would be worth 5 times what I would have paid for it. My E36 had I not made it into a racecar would have been worth what I paid for it right now and only continuing to appreciate (and I bought that at a pretty high point in the used market). Just have to get lucky and buy one at their lowest depreciating point.
