BMW M5 keeps an estimated 45% of its recent market value after 5 years — #438 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the BMW M5 retains an estimated 45% of its recent market value after five years, ranking #438 of 530 cars we track. That trails the 54% five-year average for Luxury in its class by 8 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the BMW M5 sheds about 9% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $70,100 it falls to around $31,755 by year five — a five-year loss near $38,345, about $21.01 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 4, a lightly-used BMW M5 bought at 4 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.
