Looking at the graph for the E46 has it a steady $30k until 2020 when covid hit and then it jumped to being $40k + the last couple of years.

I could see it even out when the chip shortage starts winding down at about $50k for nice examples (could still be some time, I know) but then very steadily climb back up when more of us old ICE heads want to get a hold of the classics.

Basically, whenever the current generation of say 35-45 year olds have their children leave the house they will have more money, I could see a bump when that happens again. You would have mature individuals, established in their career, and want that car that was "on their wall" or "on my desktop background" as the E46 was for me.
