What BMW 7 Series do most buyers choose?

The BMW 7 Series years with the most listings are 2023, 2022, and 2024.

Higher-volume years tend to be the easiest places to shop because you get more inventory to compare and more chances to find the right color, mileage, and equipment mix. They also tend to attract more deal-priced listings, which can help you narrow in on value.

What is the BMW 7 Series's resale value?

The table shows broad year-over-year price declines across the lineup, which can work in your favor if you’re shopping used. The newest model years are seeing the steepest drops, while older examples are still moving down but at a slower pace. That creates a wide spread of value opportunities depending on how much you want to spend.

The 2014, 2018, and 2015 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
