BMW Resale Values

2020 BMW X3 Top View
 

Shopping for a new car or pre-owned BMW? One deciding factor for you might be the resale value of the vehicle if you want to trade it in or sell it at some point in the future. Some BMW models hold more of their resale value than others.

 

Take a look at the models that tend to have the highest BMW resale value. Then learn more about the BMW value over time, and how it may influence your decision about which BMW to purchase.

BMW X3

A pre-owned BMW X3 is an excellent choice for Syosset shoppers who want a luxurious SUV to retain a large portion of its value. The 2018, 2017, and 2016 BMW X3 model years have some of the best resale values for the luxury brand. On average, a 2018 pre-owned BMW X3 could retain as much as 40% of the original value.

The BMW X3 has only improved with time. There are plenty of great things about new models that make it a fantastic buy:

  • 248-hp turbo engine
  • Brake Energy Regeneration
  • Oak wood trim
  • Smartphone integration
  • HiFi Sound System with 12 speakers
  • HD Radio™
  • And more!

The cargo capacity measures 28.7 to 62.7 cubic feet, giving you plenty of space for your belongings.

BMW 2-Series

The BMW 2-Series is one of the lowest-priced models in the BMW lineup, meaning you get some value while still investing in a luxury vehicle.

The affordability aspect is one reason why it holds value better than the 3-Series. Another reason is because it isn’t leased as often as other models. When models are popular lease options, they tend to be readily available at dealerships because they’re frequently turned in at the end of lease contracts. This makes the 2-Series a bit of a commodity for value shoppers.

The 2018, 2019, and 2020 BMW 2-Series models currently offer the best values. On average, for a 2018 2-Series, drivers can expect to pay around 49% of the original cost. Around 25% of that BMW depreciation takes place within the first two years.

The most recent model offers:

  • 248-hp turbo engine
  • Launch Control (with the automatic transmission)
  • Driver-selectable drive modes
  • Active Driving Assistant®
  • And more!

One way to mitigate resale values on used vehicles is to lease your new BMW instead of buying one. Our finance team can discuss your leasing options.

BMW Z4

Want a vehicle that turns heads on Roslyn roads? Consider a sporty roadster! The BMW Z4 is one of the best luxury roadsters on the market, and it’s easy to understand why, with its great looks, fantastic power, and handling.

The resale value is one of the best in its class. After five years, a Z4 will retain around 35% of its full value, with 44% of that BMW depreciation happening in the first two years. It depreciates quickly at first, so leasing might be better for you.

A new BMW Z4 packs quite a wallop:

  • 255-hp turbo engine
  • Variable Sport Steering
  • Heated-glass rear window
  • BMW ConnectedDrive® Services
  • Smartphone integration
  • Dynamic Cruise Control®
  • Live Cockpit Professional with a 10.25-inch touchscreen and a touchpad controller
