BMW 2-Series keeps an estimated 55% of its recent market value after 5 years — #291 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full depreciation curve.
Per VINdown's modeling, the BMW 2-Series retains an estimated 55% of its recent market value after five years, ranking #291 of 530 cars we track. That is 2 points above the 54% five-year average for Luxury in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the BMW 2-Series sheds about 11% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $39,395 it falls to around $21,746 by year five — a five-year loss near $17,649, about $9.67 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used BMW 2-Series bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
