BMW i4 keeps 44% of its recent market value after 5 years — #449 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full curve, cost per day, and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the BMW i4 retains 44% of its recent market value after five years, ranking #449 of 530 cars we track. That is 4 points above the 40% five-year average for EV in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the BMW i4 sheds about 13% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $52,877 it falls to around $23,160 by year five — a five-year loss near $29,717, about $16.28 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used BMW i4 bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot. Explore the full year-by-year curve, trims, and true cost of ownership in the Model Lab above.

Around 2 years old: that is just past the steepest depreciation, so you skip the biggest drop while the value curve is flattening.
