Will the Z4 E85 become a classic?

You only have to take a look at the Classics now - Morris Marina, Opel Kadett, Fiat 500 etc,etc and the list goes on. There are always people that want to re-visit, their teenage years/first cars.

Could sound boring, but I think it will some day, by some, be considered a classic, with some added value being a manual or M. And some like vanilla, too. If I were to buy a classic car (e.g. an old Corvette), I’d want one that has not been modified to death and which preserves the essence of the original design, engine specs being secondary.

Well, we all love old BMWs right? You would probably buy any E30 or E36 or E28, etc... Engine size won't matter and the only thing that will is the condition, at least that is my view on this topic. Of course we all love inline 6 engines but if someone offered me a mint 318is, I would run to it. Generally speaking when a BMW gets old, everyone wants it.
Also, the prices in the rest of the Europe are going up. There is rarely a cheap E85/E86 now unless it has some really high mileage (or kms).
Good ones are from 8-9k euros and up. If you get lucky you can get it for about 6-7k euros.
So yes, with everything being said I think it will be a classic. M models are something different of course...
