Jalopnik: 10 Cars That Could Explode In Value Soon

Jalopnik has published an article with the top 10 cars that could become a great buy for their owners since their value will be exploding soon. A few BMW models makes it to the list alongside other classics. Here are two BMWs that made it to the list:

The E46 BMW M3 takes the 8th spot and is regarded as one of the best drivers cars of all time. One of BMW fans’ favorite, the E46 chassis, made its debut in 2001. It was powered by the 3.2 liter S54 M-tuned engine. At the time of the car’s introduction, this engine had the highest specific output naturally aspirated of any engine ever made by BMW (except in the McLaren F1), producing 343 horsepower (256 kW) and 365 N·m (269 lb-ft). No sedan variant was offered for the E46 generation. The E46 M3 was offered with a standard 6-speed Getrag transmission, but optionally came with a SMG drivelogic transmission (also known as the SMG II).

The BMW 850 CSi takes the 3rd spot. As a top-of-the-range sports tourer, the 850CSi took over from the prototype M8. The 850CSi used the same engine as the 850i, which was tuned so significantly that BMW assigned it a new engine code: S70B56. The modifications included a capacity increase to 5.6 liters and power increase to 380 PS (279 kW; 375 hp). The engine can be identified by the “Powered by M” inscription on the central cam cover between the two banks of cylinders.
