I will say this: For all BMWs the initial price drop is the worst. After that the depreciation slows down dramatically on X1 and 3 series cars, while 5s and 7s catch up with 3 series prices within 5 years. BMW makes enough 3 series based cars worldwide that there is some economy in parts & repair prices, while the higher echelon BMWs stay expensive to fix, thus limiting their used car appeal.

I bought my 14 X1 xDrive35i MSport Ultimate HK when it was 12 months old with 15K miles for $36K in August. That was a drop of $14K from sticker. Six months later similar X1s for sale now are still in the 36K-38K range. The first drive off of the dealer lot is a big hit!
