I don't know about that. The guys on the BMW E30 list (84-91 3 series)
can still buy performance chips for the Bosch ECUs. The oldest of those
cars is 21.
The M3 in this body style I think will be quite collectible in 10 years
time, and decent ones can be had today for 10-15K. Even mine (a 318is)
will be somewhat collectible as it was made only 1 year, as opposed to
all the 6 cylinder cars made. But, it certainly won't be a VALUABLE
collectible, especially as a good running 318is can be had for $1-$2K.
Oh, and anything convertible will be collectible. Even Chrysler
Sebrings. :)

I have mentioned this before (but nobody listens!). I doubt that very
many
of today's cars will still be drivable after 20 years. New cars are
entirely
controlled by an ECU (Electronic Control Unit), which is a computer.
Nobody
repairs them and parts for 20 year old computers will be non-existant.
