so it was worth 53% of its value at 13 months old, did i get a bargain or not?
its currently valued at approx 20500 on a private sale 19000 on a trade. and its coming up to 3 years old

Depends whether you think it was worth £44K new. If you go by list price of course, but that car is really £32k new + extras that are negotiable. I am assuming you bought an E90, the last run of that car was probably going for around £29k with a much higher RRP.
The E92 had a huge price drop too before the 4 series came in. A 335i M sport coupe came down to £30k with a "RRP" of around 38k.
You got a good deal though and that is what matters.
