You can get 10% off basically any new BMW except a few of the rarer models (M2) + $2k-$5k of misc. incentives (loyalty, lease or APR credits, etc.) so you need to keep that in mind when looking at depreciation. 7er and 8er also get “flagship” money which is BMW-to-dealer $$ in the trunk which really means a good deal on those is probably 15-18% off before the incentives.

No matter how you slice it, BMW resale isn’t as strong as old days but it’s not as bad as it looks unless you’re one of the few to pay close to MSRP.

That being said, BMW still maintains strong lease residuals on most models which makes leasing even more attractive in my opinion.
