This is disturbing.
Yeah someone else said it before as well, but there really is something wrong with this... I want less ///M badges... this new trend completely commoditizes the brand. It will be interesting to see what that does for prices in 30/40 years as they become classics.

I have done quite well investing in older ///M models over the years as they have appreciated quite steadily due to their relatively low numbers and exclusivity. I also bought most when they bottomed out... my mint 45K mile e28 M5 only cost 11 grand in 2006... last I saw they were well over the 35K mark... and my 3 e36 m3's were all bought pretty rough for cheap and have been restored and beginning to appreciate quite well.
