Are These Future Classics? Is BMW's M Coupe Deserving Of FIRST Place?

Are These Future Classics? Is BMW's M Coupe Deserving Of FIRST Place?
AskMen reports:

"The best collector car deals always present themselves at the worst times possible. Inevitably, you have to pass, and the sting of missing out fades with time. That is, until you see a similar car years later. Only now, it’s considered a classic among collectors and in higher demand than ever.

Until you master time travel to buy the un-bought, try future classics you can afford now. Not the usual suspects like Corvettes, Ferraris, GT-Rs, Vipers, and such; cars like these are assured future classic status from birth. And just because a nameplate is dead, it isn’t guaranteed anyone will covet them later (would you honestly crave a Plymouth, Pontiac or Saturn as a midlife crisis toy?).

We see these 10 from the last 20 years or less as better bets for future classics you can afford now instead, noting desirable years and approximate value ranges (mostly private party) for examples in good condition. We’ll admit that there are a few dark horses in the mix, and you won’t fund your retirement with them, but if you can find unmolested and well-maintained survivors, we doubt you’ll lose money in the long run. Catch these future classics you can afford now while you can..."

I think the BMW E46 3 series has got to be on that list...still amazed by how good they look, even though the original design goes back to 99!! So timeless already.

If you can find a CSi, the choice is clear.

M Coupe? A classic? Possibly in the same way that the AMC Pacer is a classic.

I can only agree with the E500 and the M coupe as future classics.

Mercedes W126 S-Class, very popular with Mercedes enthusiasts

W126 and W124 are probably the best contenders for classics. Especially the 500E. Glad I have one already.... Not giving up that baby.

I Agree With the 500E and the M3 Coupe.

As with all such topics, the words "highly subjective" come to mind. Nevertheless I agree with the...

Land Rover Defender
Mercedes E500
VW Corrado
Honda NSX
Mazda MX-5

...choices.

I say the 190E Evo II should be on that list.
