What s people s verdicts on values of D3s now they are out of production and BMW now own the name? What s the safer bet m340d touring or a D3s??
Alpinas are expensive to buy because they are "a limited production vehcile sir, sold to a discerning gentleman such as yourself" and cheap to trade in because "no one wants them really"...In all seriousness, and I say this on my second Alpina, I doubt the D3s will do anything other than go the way of any Diesel BMW of the same era as I just don't thinkl the demand is there for them as a "classic car" investment vehicle. The end of production run specials and the petrol versions of the 5 series might go up in value, but the D3s are quite plentiful, and the entry model.
Like any car other than a DB5 or something like that, buy it if you want it and if you don't loose too much on it when you come to get rid then happy days.
That said, I had a standard E36 cabriolet and when the insurance scrapped it when its Cat was nicked they paid me the £1500 I had paid for it seven years earlier so cars can stop depreciating
