Depreciation insight: What is a 1993 BMW E30 3 Series [82‑94] worth? Classic cars often have a different depreciation curve than modern vehicles. For the BMW E30 3 Series [82‑94] depreciation we can outline realistic percentages based on publicly available sales data and market analysis:

• Initial year (year‑old): starts at full market value but typically drops 10–15% due to depreciation (the car’s base price is already flat due to classic status).
• First year of personal ownership: typically loses 15–20% of its initial value as the car settles into a new owner’s maintenance profile.
• Years 3–5: depreciation slows; a well‑maintained vehicle may retain 70–75% of its original asking price by age 5.
• Beyond 5 years: appreciation can occur for models with low mileage, rare paint jobs, and extensive restoration—up to 80–90% retention or even slight value growth in niche markets.

These figures incorporate typical market shifts, inflation, and the vintage demand cycle. However, value can be heavily influenced by condition, service history, and provenance. A 1993 BMW E30 that’s been driven or stored carefully, with a complete log of repairs, will often command a premium over a similarly aged but neglected counterpart. When considering the BMW E30 3 Series [82‑94] 1993 price, buyers should also factor in regional demand: in cities with a strong classic‑car culture, prices are generally higher than in markets where older vehicles are less popular.
