There used to be a site with BMWFS depreciation values, can't find it now.


Edit - found some, the 335i depreciates slightly more, as I would expect. These are a few years old, but I would think the relative values should be similar today.
BMWFS values have little or no connection with reality. I've had several sales people agree that this is the case when I asked them about it.

I actually went shopping for a 328i and 335i and bought a 335i, I spent 3 months looking for my car where I saw thousands of ads. The real world price difference I saw with options was nearly identical to the invoice difference of the original purchase price between a 328i and 335i when adjusted for the additional features you get in the 335i.
