anybodies guess, the market is really battered at moment, you coul lose quite a bit but if things pick up then they may stay flat for a while as a result of being underpriced at moment

I cant really back this up with anything other than my personal thoughts, but I really cant see early examples up to 2003 depreciating much further, as you can pick up a great example for 13-15k now, yet 99 T reg E36 M3's are still going for 8-9k. 2001 E46's are going from 10k onwards....Ive seen a couple go for 9k!!

I don't think there underpriced, cars have held onto there value far to much and the credit crunch is bringing this fact, I think now depreciation will hit realistic levels, although they caught up a bit rapidly with there market value!
