Of course the value of my 328i was distorted by the drop in demand for diesel
cars and the fact that in 2012 not many petrol engined F30s were bought.

There are always going to be examples of values which don't fit a linear or normal pattern. Hopefully my car is in a similar position. F11 535i models are rare, weren't the car of choice when launched, and now a few appear to want them in the used market. I'm estimating my depreciation has slowed to about £2k a year, in years 6 and 7. Even if a bit more, it is nothing like the first 3-years, which was more than £35k. Pleased I didn't have to 'absorb' £25k of that figure.
