Unless you have a comprehensive warranty or you are leasing it, stay away from a used BMW. Why do you think they have such rapid depreciation curves?
It's the unexpected problems that you encounter with them.
A few I have seen in my friend group:
1. A 4 year old convertible 3 series had the back window separate and he had to replace the entire top.
2. A 5 year old 7 series had a coolant hose rupture and did all kinds of damage.
3. A 4 year old Mini Cooper S had the clutch fail and it was $3000 to repair. Not covered under warranty because it's considered normal wear and tear.
I love BMW's amd have owned several. But I know my way around car repairs and have most shop tools at my disposal. But every time I own one, I still feel nervous.
Love / Hate.

Could be the case now but not in the past, BMW doesn’t have the market cornered on depreciation, any luxury item is that way, you can also buy used vehicles under warranty or buy a policy for them
