Message: <blockquote data-quote="starwing" data-source="post: 541104" data-attributes="member: 16720">Resale value is usually tied to the perceived reliability of the car. With the tendency of a used Beemer entering workshop (compared to MB), I am not surprise of the resale value it fetches. IMHO, much of the Beemer's recent popularity is derived from the launch of new model and the support from the more affordable younger buyers. Whether the new F10 will be able to buck the trend and fetch a higher resale value will have to depend on it's reliability compared to the MB. We shall get the answer over the next few years...As a side note, I was told Beemer's parts are designed with a lifespan of 4-years - only long enough to cover the warranty. From my own experience, there is a certain level of validity in this argument...</blockquote>
