This.

Putting infotainment into cars has pretty much ruined any value they may have down the road in my opinion. Using the I-Drive in current models 20 years from now will be the equivalent of using Windows 95. The problem is unlike a simple GPS system many of these modern cars use the infotainment to control systems throughout the whole vehicle, like HVAC.

Tough to say what will be valuable down the road, but looking at what is valuable now might help. Usually limited production cars that have a unique driving experience hold their value. I'm thinking some BMWs without IDrive will probably go up a bit. Like stated above there also has to be a demand though.
