BMW Models Lead in Resale Value After Five Years
BMW models have shown impressive resale value after five years, with several models retaining more than half their original price. This is notable as luxury cars typically depreciate quickly. Let's delve into the specifics.
BMW models dominate the top three spots in their segments for residual value, outnumbering Mercedes. While a precise ranking of models like the 3 Series and X5 requires expert lists, we can highlight some standout performers.
The BMW M4 Convertible (G83) and the first BMW 2 Series Convertible (F23) both retain 49.9% of their value, bucking the trend of convertibles depreciating more than coupes. The BMW 4 Series Coupe (G42), despite its polarizing styling, retains 51.9% due to its balance of performance and comfort. The BMW M2 (G87) leads the pack with 59.4% retention, driven by enthusiast demand and motorsport DNA. Even the discontinued BMW i8 Coupe retains 52.7%, transitioning to a collectible status.
Notably, the BMW 2 Series Coupe retains 56.2% of its value, proving that an M badge isn't necessary for strong resale value. The BMW M4 Coupe (G82) retains 55.9% thanks to its performance credentials and demand. The BMW Z4, including the special Z4 M40i Handschalter edition, retains 51.5%, defying the usual convertible depreciation trend.
BMW models have demonstrated impressive resale value, with several retaining more than half their original price after five years. This is a testament to BMW's engineering and the enduring appeal of their models, despite luxury cars typically depreciating quickly.
