   Depreciation Insight

Understanding BMW 330 depreciation is key to assessing whether now is a good time to buy or sell. Typical depreciation for the E46 range follows a familiar pattern:

• First year: loses roughly 15‑20% of its market value, usually a bit higher for highly rated models.
• By the third year: total loss plates out around 30‑35% of the original price.
• After five years: over a 50% depreciation on the original market value, although many owners find that a low‑mileage, well‑conditioned vehicle can still fetch a good price.

Realistic depreciation percentages are vital. A new BMW 330 price starts around $30,000–$36,000 in North America, so a 2003 model in good condition could be valued around $12,000–$18,000 depending on mileage and region. But remember, the used BMW 330 price is heavily market‑dependent; local demand, currency fluctuations, and regional taxes impact the final amount.

• BMW 320i (economic but still a BMW) – slightly lower horsepower, same platform.
