What BMW 4 Series do most buyers choose?

The BMW 4 Series years with the most listings are 2025, 2023, and 2024.

Those higher-volume years tend to be the easiest places to shop because you get more inventory to compare and a better chance of finding the right color, mileage, and equipment mix. They also often attract more attention from shoppers, which helps explain why they remain popular used picks.

What is the BMW 4 Series's resale value?

Most model years are down year over year, which is good news if you’re shopping used because prices have generally softened. The biggest drops are concentrated in the newer and mid-cycle years, while the smaller declines suggest some older examples have already moved through a larger share of their price adjustment. The overall pattern points to a market that is giving buyers more room to negotiate.

The 2015, 2017, and 2016 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Should I buy a used BMW 4 Series now or wait for the next model?
