I want to know how people do it! This BMW just lost 50000$ (not including taxes, destination,license and financing) in less then three years. That would cost over 1500/month in strictly depreciation to sell now. DAMN!

Bought my x5m used. Paid 80k for it with 8k miles on it. It was 115k new. 10 months later I traded because it had 50k and the maintenance program was over. When they told me a standard brake job was $4000 I said “nope” traded on a brand new superduty and got 68k for it. Felt ok about it... people that buy 100k+ cars usually don’t give a crap about depreciation... most want it for tax purposes.

That was the funnest car I’ve ever had. 555 hp AWD suv. From a launch it would spin all 4 tires. Not to mention the crazy donuts it would do. glad I got rid of it or I would have probably “smitty’d” it at some point.

M3? Those are nice. He has some serious work done if it’s that power. The X5M and the M5 are the beasts for BMW.

Ya I think he said stock was 450. There’s some work done.

I did not have it but 2 years but this was my Mopar answer to a sports car. 06 model,3.55 gears, aftermarket axles, Mopar catless exhaust,Mopar PCM, K&N air filter, aftermarket 18's and 20's with Michelins. It was pretty peppy and I didn't lose my butt when I sold it
