Dunno specifically about M3s, but 911s peak at about 45 years old. The late 60s and early 70s long bonnet cars are gently sliding back now relative to the late 80s / early 90s stuff. Logic being that men in their 40s and 50s are the ones who buy the classics that were the dream cars of their youth, by the time those men get to their 60s they’ve either got one, had one or don’t want one.
You’re probably definitely hopefully safe for the 4 or 5 years you mention.

Correct - they're all LHD. There were about half a dozen (or fewer) that were officially converted by BMW, but they rarely pop up for sale.
The money would come in handy since the house hasn't sold (the woman buying it tried chipping the agreed price by 15% on the day of exchange, so I told her to foxtrot oscar), but I've had the car almost as long as I've owned the house, so I think I should probably just weather the storm.
Best case scenario: we're in this mess for 2/3 years. Worst case scenario: we're in this mess for 4/5/6 years
