Comparing a 2012 128 with an M235 depreciation is crazy. Buying a 2012 128 that's obsolete, replaced by a 2 series car had a lot to do with the hit in depreciation. No mention of miles put on the car etc so its a strawman conversation. Taking the cheapest low end car and least desirable car BMW made with no supporting facts is kind of meaningless. Why would a "Porsche Dealer" be trolling this thread? 128's are a dime a dozen just like 320's, very few M235's for resale, manuals are extremely hard to find but still if its 2 years old its lost 30% of its value like every other luxury car on the market. People won't buy a 2 year old BMW when they can get the same monthly payment on a 2017 lease. Your usually underwater until 3 years. The difference now is people are doing 6-7 year purchases when it used to be 4-5 years. I've owned 16 BMW's through leases and purchases, trade ins etc and the "Porsche Dealer" can say what he wants but I have 22 years buying, leasing and trading BMW's (my own) and he is leaving out some pretty important facts.
