BMW Models Defy Luxury Car Depreciation, Retaining Up to 59.4% of Value

BMW models are defying the typical luxury car depreciation trend, with several retaining more than half their original value after five years. This is according to a recent study by iSeeCars.

The BMW Z4 Roadster, for instance, retains 51.5% of its value, bucking the usual trend for convertibles. Its connection to the Toyota Supra has likely contributed to this strong performance.

The BMW M4 Coupe (G82) retains 55.9% of its value, thanks to its impressive performance credentials and high demand. The BMW M2 (G87) leads the pack with a 59.4% retention rate, driven by enthusiast demand and its motorsport DNA.

Even discontinued models like the BMW i8 Coupe retain 52.7% of their value, transitioning from modern experiments to collectibles. The BMW 4 Series Coupe (G42) retains 51.9% of its value, balancing performance and everyday comfort despite polarizing styling.

The BMW M4 Convertible (G83) retains 49.9% of its value, performing well among luxury drop-tops. The BMW 2 Series Coupe retains 56.2% of its value, proving that an M badge is not necessary for strong resale value. Even the first BMW 2 Series Convertible (F23) bucks the trend for small convertibles with a 49.9% retention rate.

The BMW X3, BMW 3 Series, and BMW X1 are among the models with the best depreciation values after five years, according to the iSeeCars study. Despite luxury cars typically depreciating quickly, these BMW models are proving to be exceptions, offering strong resale value to owners.
