What really got my attention recently, was when I bought my new 2014 M5 and a couple of months later, I was thinking of trading it for a M6. The same dealership that I bought my new M5 from a couple of months earlier, appraised my months old M5 for almost half of what it’s worth.
After that experience with the M5, I started paying attention to the resale value of BMWs and M vehicles as well. To my surprise, BMWs aren’t holding their value as they should. My 2017 M6 that I paid $147k for, was appraised exactly one year later and it was deprecated by 45%. I’m definitely not impressed with the resale value of the M vehicles.

Yeah im not so concerned with the exclusivity and more the resale....I know cars are depreciating assets; but the e90 held its value so well. I didn't know the f8x would plummet like this. Also you really need a track nowadays to harness the ability of the car. Its really fun changing lanes on the highway tho.
