Understanding BMW 1 Series Depreciation
When evaluating a used BMW 1 Series price, it’s crucial to factor in depreciation—how quickly a vehicle loses value over time.
- The initial drop after is steep: most 1 Series models lose 15‑20 of their value within the first year.
- From years 2 to 5, you can expect roughly a 5‑8% annual decline, contingent on mileage and upkeep.
- Beyond five years, depreciation slows, but maintenance costs rise; typical 2005 models may still hold around 35‑40% of their original price after 15 years, depending on demand.
These percentages are averages drawn from large market surveys and represent realistic estimates for owners and buyers. The BMW 1 Series depreciation curve
