Luxury cars have the call to lose the value quickly, and BMW is no exception. A high sticker price feels justified on the day you drive off the property, but five years later, the resale figures can look brutal. The depreciation is often the greatest costs for the possession of a premium car and can easily predominate the maintenance, fuel or even insurance.
But not every BMW falls victim to this steep curve. Some models keep their value surprisingly good thanks to a mixture of enthusiast demand, limited production and real usability. In fact, a few BMWs are baking the luxury car stereotype as a whole and, even after five years of property, retains more than half of their original price.

For BMW fans, the results are both expected and surprising: the models with the strongest resale value are not always the most expensive, but the cars with permanent emotional attraction and practical charm.
