Buy and keep long term M8

Hello all,

I'm living in Belgium, and already for some time I want to buy a bmw M series car and keep it as a long term investment.

I want it to be a convertible, so I'm debating between a M4 and and M8
I love the looks of the M8, plus it has a V8, but it's quite big

However I have some questions where I would love to hear your opinion.

1) What is like the sweet spot for buying this type of cars (M4 or M8) when it comes to the best price vs age. What is typical the ideal age for buying these cars (and yes I understand mileage is important as well) as I'm looking at doing an investment, so I'd prefer not to lose a ton of money

2) Is an M4 or M8 future proof? I mean does it many sense to buy this kind of car now and keep it for like 20 years so it becomes an oldtimer. I don't need to make huge profits on the car, but I would hate to lose a lot of money on the value.

3) As this is an M8 specific place, are they certain years for an M8 I should avoid and what are the most common issues/problems these cars have. Are they, generally speaking, reliable?

Happy to hear your inputs!
