Wondering out loud. How are the 2-Series fairing out? We're now closing in on the end of its second production year. I've seen both 228i and M235i in the pre-owned market both dealer and private party advertised.

I've taken note of the 2014 M235i which MSRP'd around $50K are now commanding about a $5K hit with less than 10K miles and about 36 months of manufacturer warranty/maintenance remaining.

They seem to be priced a bit high for me. You should be able to negotiate a bit off the top of MSRP. So you are only saving $3k buying used? Doesnt seem worth it.

You're correct. Trade-in takes about a $10K hit. Since the majority of cars are in dealer inventory and the supply is still low due to the model newness, the market is still on the high side.

The true test as will be next year when the much awaited M2's are in the market.
