BMW 8-Series Depreciation & Resale Value

BMW 8-Series keeps an estimated 46% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #557 of 684 cars VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.

Per VINdown's modeling, the BMW 8-Series retains an estimated 46% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #557 of 684 cars we track. That trails the 55% five-year average for Luxury in its class by 9 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the BMW 8-Series sheds about 1% of its original MSRP in year one alone. From roughly $94,500 it falls to around $43,848 by year five — a five-year loss near $50,652, about $27.75 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used BMW 8-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.
