Will the E32 ever increase in value

[NCBMWDriver]

So, does anyone think the E32's will ever increase in value as it becomes a "classic" sedan? I have seen other sedans bottom out in value and are now starting to increase. It appears as though the E32 has just about bottomed out in value now - Will they increase and when?

[zener]

750iL Highline is one IMO...

Also ALPINA E32 models but that is a whole another story.

The good news: Yes, there is a group of buyers who admire E32 vehicles.

The bad news: It's us. And you know how cheap we are!

[ultimatedrivin7]

I figure once the majority of them disintegrate the last 10 will have value (haha). Could be a while though...

[E32FAN]

According to Wikipedia 311,068 E32s were built.

If 10% remain on the road today (31,100) and we lose 20 cars per day (7,300yr) to the crushers, then the last car will expire in 4.26 years, or December of 2014.

Our job is to deny the crushers, and shogun is our dear leader.

Always finds a way to make me laugh.

But "WE" only have till Dec 2012.....

[WhiteSe7en]

Yes, they will begin to increase once they hit that 25 year mark. Just try and find an E23 in good condition that isn't upwards of 5k. They're extremely hard to find. Ask me how I know. As with pretty much any kind of classic car, the more scarce they become, the more sought after they will be. The market will dictate the price.

[Actros617]

Bad news prices of the E32 is never going to go up, due to the vast amount of E32 floating

Good news there are a dime a dozen....

Prime condition old cars always command more money than their poor-condition sisters and brothers. That's been true of all the old BMWs I've played with so far. That being said, unless it's a car with rare options, an E32 is never going to be big money. It costs a lot more to put it/keep it in premium condition than you'll get out of it at sale. There are better ways to make a buck in the car world.

Well Mine just hit 60,100 original miles so I'll be around in 2014 with under 100K miles for sure.

[Eggie86]

I'm not certain whether the value of normal E32s will ever rise that much, but like previously mentioned, those Alpina models and 750iL Highline ones would definitely appreciate due to their sheer rarity.

[Sasa Ivanovic]

I coudnt sell mine for $100 if I tried..

[Johal E32]

Really, I don't see the value's of these car's going up for a long time yet. (Another 10 years ???) I Want to see these car's like proper classics one day.

IMO i agree with this comment,, i think 750 HL is the only E32 that will be worth somthing ,, and is today special

B12 and B11 4.0 are VERY expensive

[colin1234567]

It also comes down to who appreciates it, and as others said how it was cared for!

[eNlite10]

My e32 still warms my heart and makes it go pitter patter. I get all misty eye with that "classic" bimmer body style so the true at heart will always appreciate them for what they are. Will that translate into dollar signs...stranger things have appealed to the masses of have nots.

[WhiteSe7en]

My overriding point, was that their value will increase once they begin hitting that 25 year mark. They'll never bring the big bucks like say a 65 Mustang convertible does, but their overall value will increase, much in the same way that the value of e23's have increased in recent years. The more scarce they become, the more their value will go up. It's the law of supply and demand. When the supply gets low, if the demand remains constant, the value(what people are willing to pay) goes up.

[paulmer]

Who cares, I ain't EVER gonna sell my baby

[E32FAN]

I agree with paulmer.

However, you can't take it with you. I bought my E32 from an estate. None of the heirs wanted the car.

Yo must be kidding... ok wishful?

[Avenolpey]

Will the 745li, 750li and 760li's end up in the crusher at 150k miles? Will anyone pay the money to keep the E65 and E66's going. Will BMW even re-certify them and at what cost? Will they just be too complicated and expensive to maintain?

Will our E32's and E38's still running at 300k+ be the only option for a used 7 series?

Who whoulda thought the old Mk 2 Jag sedans would be selling for what they are going for now? Wishful? You bet. Patient? Maybe not so.

I don't know about you guys, but I fully intend to have my E32 running at 300k miles. I'm at just under 240k right now.

[oliverr871]

I'm gunning for millions of miles!
