BMW X1 Depreciation & Resale Value

BMW X1 keeps an estimated 51% of its recent market value after 5 years — #357 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.

Per VINdown's modeling, the BMW X1 retains an estimated 51% of its recent market value after five years, ranking #357 of 530 cars we track. That trails the 54% five-year average for Luxury in its class by 3 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the BMW X1 sheds about 13% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $41,495 it falls to around $21,162 by year five — a five-year loss near $20,333, about $11.14 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used BMW X1 bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
