What BMW 6 Series do most buyers choose?

The BMW 6 Series years with the most listings are 2014, 2015, and 2016.

These higher-volume years tend to draw more shoppers because they offer the broadest selection and the easiest path to comparing prices, trims, and equipment. More listings also usually make it simpler to find a car that fits your budget and preferred configuration.

What is the BMW 6 Series's resale value?

The table shows broad downward movement across the model years listed, which can work in your favor if you’re shopping used. The declines are fairly consistent, with each year showing a drop from the prior year’s pricing. That pattern suggests buyers may find better value now than they would have a year ago.

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

Should I buy a used BMW 6 Series now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2017 model is at −6.69% versus a year ago, and the 2016 model is at −7.94%.
• Deal availability: The 2017 model has 34.6% good and great deals, and the 2016 model has 33.5%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2014 model has the most listings at a current average price of $15,486.

If you're buying used today, the 2014 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the newest version, it may be worth waiting for 2020 inventory to mature.
