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.


Yep. Studies like this would probably be more useful if they calculated based on average transaction price rather than msrp. The inflated MSRPs of Bmws are great from a leasing perspective though.
