But it isn't a V8!
If a V8 apparently isn't essential I would have suggested a Z4M Coupe - same engine as your M3 but a bit more style.
Still, I hope you enjoy the M3. (BMW version at least, the road with that name is a total f*ckup).
Holy cow, I should pay more attention If a V8 apparently isn't essential I would have suggested a Z4M Coupe - same engine as your M3 but a bit more style.

The E24 635CSi is a lovely thing indeed, for example. And I think, for those that are still at sensible prices, and not rot-boxes, will continue to climb in value.
Been looking more and more at the TVR Griffith though... British convertible V8. And while tidy ones are top of my budget, I think if you kept it nice, it would continue to climb. I don't think I can afford NOT to!

With your budget you could stretch to a M635, now that's a rare find.

Would I go for another griff today.? In a heartbeat. In fact I might just do it and join my son on a road run in his 4.5 cerb i.

Jaguar XKR, I have a suspicion these will age well and appreciate in value. And who doesn't like a supercharged V8! The one below is one of only 16 'Stratstone' coupes, full Jag service history and only 50k on the clock. About the same money as a tired DB7 for what is a top example of the XK8.

Definitely good luck with yours though. Sounds like it has the potential to send you some ruinous bills. Hopefully you can breathe some life into it without sinking too many thousands into it....

Lovely! https://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/...
Always liked these. The 4.2 has been around for ages too, so is probably a fairly safe bet that it's not going to go bang and throw it's internals out any time soon.
Probably a bit much for me though. I can see this falling a bit too far. I'm trying to minimise my depreciation stakes.
I'm very very good at buying high, spendimg lots and many hours of work on something, and selling for rock-bottom. No more! Maybe....
It's not in the 30k bracket, but mid 90's BMW's are definitely appreciating. An E36 seems to have about doubled in value in the last year or 2, and I can't see them doing anything other than climbing. And the E39's are now at low shed money, and are only going to go one way to. It's not exotic yet, but there will be plenty of people in 10 years time that look wistfully at the E36, and that's a big factor in classic appreciation. Look for example at a Ford Capri, or Escort.

I know exactly what you mean! And us car guys can be pretty stubborn when we get an idea that sounds good in our own heads...
