This artist has become famous and much sort after by investors since his death, and pieces like this now command high prices. I appreciate genuine talent in engineering, art, architecture and pretty much any field of endeavor, but my kids brought home better than this from kindy
This is a prime example of how value can become hyped up when the demand for a commodity exceeds supply (toilet paper being a more recent but relevant example). It only takes a small number of speculative investors to shout "gold rush" and everyone wants to jump on the wagon. A further example is the "get your foot on the property ladder" so beloved by real estate agents. Speculation, investment, call it what you like. It has always been around and it always will be.
Rarity is what gives great value to everyday objects, and the desire to make a profit is what makes a person buy an item with no practical use or artistic merit simply because it is guaranteed to go up in value over time. I'm not going to mention Bitcoin

As opposed to performance forums where the members are primarily interested in how a vehicle performs and have no problem with the interracial marriage of parts or the addition of go fast modifications. So many BMW owners are better classified as collectors and investors rather than simple car enthusiasts.
Personally I don't have a problem with this, as those in a position to collect and invest in rarities of any sort are free to do so. When an item becomes rare and collectable, its value is no longer related to its intrinsic worth or artistic merit. And that is where this particular vehicle sits... so it will go into a collection and sit unused gathering value until passed to another collector.

Ok thanks

It’s debatable whether the replica 17s look any better than the 16”s, arguably the 17 is a smidge too big on the E30.
I just need 17s to clear 6pot brakes
