Brewster's Millions... but...

[Sterillium]

Without millions... and also without Brewster... but with a decade of dry storage.

Let's say you were given a budget of £20,000 and you had to buy two cars only.
Both cars are to be sealed up in dry storage for exactly 10 years, whereupon they will be unsealed and released to be returned to you.

The challenges:

Car 1 > Is to lose the maximum possible amount of money from your initial investment.

Car 2 > Is to gain the maximum possible amount of money from the original investment.

What two cars would you pick and why?

I'm thinking that might lose the whole £9500...

Two from BMW:

The gainer: BMW Z3M Coupe £21,950 - I'd negotiate hard but if that is disqualified, BMW E39 M5 for £16,995. Naturally aspirated, manual cars that will be even more desirable in 10 years time.

The loser: BMW i3 2015 for £19,495 - there is no way this will be worth anything in 10 years, the cables won't exist to charge it any more and the batteries will be shot that it'll have no range.

You've spent £41,455 from a budget of £20,000.

I know, hence the edit.
