BMW X5 Depreciation

A BMW X5 will depreciate 61% after 5 years and have a 5 year resale value of $30,759.

The BMX X5 ranks 58th out of 71 luxury models for depreciation after five years, and will lose over 60% of its original value. If you have to buy one new, hold your nose and sign the paperwork, but if you don't (which you don't), search elsewhere, or look for a model that is between four and six years old to save yourself a bunch of money.

The chart below shows the expected depreciation for the next 10 years. These results are for vehicles in good condition, averaging 13,500 miles per year. It also assumes a selling price of $79,297 when new. Enter your purchase price, expected ownership period and estimated miles driven annually. Our depreciation calculator will predict an expected resale value for the BMW X5.

If you purchase a used BMW X5 that is 2 years old, then you could save $26,120 compared to buying new, and still have a relatively new model with plenty of useful life remaining. If you plan to keep this vehicle for 3 years then your total cost of depreciation would be $22,418. Try other age and ownership length combinations, or different vehicles to see if you can find depreciation sweetspots where this cost is the lowest. Hint: Try vehicles between 2 and 4 years old, as brand new vehicles depreciate quickly. Also, if this is a recently released model and buying a few years old isn't possible, consider another vehicle, or perhaps wait until more used X5 models become available.
