I hate to tell you this but the value drop you see compared to what you paid is because you paid too much for the car to start with. Im sure the dealer had quite a "premium" on the car because of the low mileage and CPO but the purchase price was way over retail. I bought my 2011 from a dealer in May 2012 with 5800 miles and gave 1K more than you did. They do depreciate but the closer you can buy to wholesale (invoice if buying new) the less hit you take. If a car retains 50% of it's RETAIL value 5 years later it's considered one of the best in resale value. I have had several BMW's that have reached this resale level.
