Some of it is also the diminished inventory available in the used car market...look at your local dealer lots and they are likely relatively low on inventory. My '18 F80 with a 78K sticker that I paid 68K for after negotiating and incentives recently was quoted at 55K trade in to CarMax with 10,500 miles on it...not a bad price to own for nearly 3 years (will be in November)....but once the new ones come out the real BMW depreciation curve will hit and it will plummet quickly back into the mid to low 40s.
