MAKE SENSE OF THE NUMBERS

An older model year changes more than the price.

A price gap is not a depreciation rate

These prices compare different vehicles on the market. An older model year may offer a lower asking price, but mileage, equipment and the mix of listings also change.

Condition needs its own check

History, equipment and physical condition can change the value of an individual car. A model-year median cannot confirm any of them.

Mileage is part of the comparison

Open a model year above to compare asking prices within odometer groups. A small sample can change noticeably with a single listing; missing mileage is excluded.

BEFORE YOU DECIDE

BMW M235i value & depreciation questions

Answers grounded in the data shown here.

How much does a BMW M235i depreciate per year?

This snapshot does not measure annual depreciation of one car. The 2020 typically asks $23,065, 33% below the 2023's $34,437. These are different vehicles listed on October 28, 2026; mileage, trim, condition and redesigns can affect the difference.

How do older BMW M235i asking prices compare with the newest model year?

A 2020 BMW M235i asks about 67% of the 2023's typical asking price ($23,065 vs $34,437). The “Share of baseline ask” column in the table above shows the same share for every model year in between.

Why does the BMW M235i depreciation curve skip 2017–2019?

No qualifying BMW M235i price data are available for the 2017–2019 model years. Years before the gap are listed separately below. A gap in available data alone does not establish a generation change.

Which BMW M235i model year is cheapest?

The 2020 BMW M235i is the most affordable model year in the latest group of model years with price data, typically listed at $23,065 — 33% below the 2023's typical $34,437. Compare every year in the table above.

How many BMW M235i model years can I compare here?

This depreciation curve covers 8 model years, from 2014 to 2024, each priced from dealer listings in the October 28, 2026 snapshot.

Is this a forecast of my car's resale value?

No. These are dealer asking prices for different vehicles in a dated snapshot. They do not measure the value lost by one car over time, original MSRP depreciation, or final transaction prices.

How does mileage affect BMW M235i asking prices?

Open a model year to see its available odometer groups, asking prices and listing counts. Mileage is the distance recorded on the odometer. Price differences also reflect condition, trim and equipment; sparse groups are labelled separately.
