Careful. Enthusiast Auto does a stellar job picking up lower than market value cars, completing an inspection, parts refresh, detail and then pricing at the creme-de-la-creme value. Their cars are not always the best examples... still a dealership with return on investment in mind.

Daily driving a 2007 Z4M coupe since 2015 - arguably part of this collector category. Mine is a collector spec color and in great shape. Averaging 12K miles a year and maintenance isn't really an issue - zero to no depreciation, easy DIY and a fair entry price point. Still cheap to pick up and drive these for the comparative value they provide!
Sparse on tech? What must-have technology are these cars missing?
