Could well be the same with the 3 series xDrive. In 3 or 4 years time when I come to get rid you'd imagine that as it doesn't have the RWD that puts so many people off it could really enhance it's value.

Interesting, BMW themselves believe the xDrive depreciates more
.......although not a great deal in it.
As stefan4 has said, never buy options for resale, they almost never pay back, and no way in hell is a £2000 Nav option going to retain that value come sale time, lucky if it netts you £700 back.
