To me the moral of the story is, buy BMW new, and GO TO MUNICH!
Doing that essentially erases the 'drive off the lot' depreciation most people end up with, because the car is $5500 less than it would have been.

I got my '13 which stickered at 75, 525 with 8,500 off two days after I found it in a dealers inventory. I wonder if they would have applied the same knock down on ED. I don't care about depreciation. I buy cars to own for a long time and enjoy. My E46 went from new to worth 4k. Made no difference. My 335is went from 62,175 to worthless but reimbursed by insurance for 51k after 2.5 yrs of driving and 31k on the odometer. If all goes well, I'll drive the hell out of my E92 and just trade it in and get another rebate on my next BMW which hopefully will be the successor to the F10 M5.
