BMW 7 Series Depreciation & Resale Value

BMW 7 Series keeps an estimated 39% of its recent market value after 5 years — #483 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full depreciation curve.

Per VINdown's modeling, the BMW 7 Series retains an estimated 39% of its recent market value after five years, ranking #483 of 530 cars we track. That trails the 54% five-year average for Luxury in its class by 15 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the BMW 7 Series sheds about 20% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $97,395 it falls to around $37,984 by year five — a five-year loss near $59,411, about $32.55 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used BMW 7 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.
