BMW 6-Series Depreciation & Resale Value

BMW 6-Series keeps an estimated 48% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #403 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.

Per VINdown's modeling, the BMW 6-Series retains an estimated 48% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #403 of 530 cars we track. That trails the 54% five-year average for Luxury in its class by 6 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.

The loss does not land all at once here: the BMW 6-Series sheds about 10% in year one and keeps going at much the same rate. From roughly $70,300 it falls to around $33,814 by year five — a five-year loss near $36,486, about $19.99 a day in depreciation.

There is no single sweet spot on the BMW 6-Series: it gives up a similar share of its value every year rather than falling off a cliff, so how long you keep it matters more than what age you buy it at. Explore the full year-by-year curve, trims, and true cost of ownership in the Model Lab above.
