The prices are holding steady for the time being because BMW stopped putting the 335 engine in coupe's so they were able to ramp up the 535. This drastically decreased the inventory of coupe's, hence why they're holding their value so nicely.
A new 335 coup

I never really heard any prob with 5 series, but yea seriously everything holds its value high here in BC since all dealers are greedy as fck lol.
I noticed recently that the value of G35 dropped dramatically. For BMW, Z4M dropped its value a lot too.

BMW's hold their value well until a new version appears, then the prices drop dramatically.

This plus the 3-4 sheduled trips became just too much.
My 03 M3 before that was just as bad.
The 335 is holding value well because it is still the current body/latest engine combo. Wait until the M3 sedan face is introduced on the rest of the 3er lineup. Luxury owners want the latest, so deals are to be had when a facelift or new body comes out.
Porsche is just as bad on depreciation. I got my 2006 7k mile CPO CS for around $15k off msrp.
