- Someone just turned down $106,000 at auction for their BMW M5 with 4,000 miles on the clock.
- That might be wise since it’s an in-year model, and MSRP just a few months ago was $139,625.
- Recent evidence seems to support that buyers in this class don’t want hybrid tech in their M5.
The latest BMW M5 is a beast in more ways than one. Not only does it appear that the automaker is sandbagging the power it makes, but it’s also bigger and heavier than ever before. We really liked it during our time testing it, but that doesn’t mean it’s going to hold its value well. In fact, based on some recent sales, it appears that it depreciates at an astonishing rate.

An owner recently put his 2025 example with just 4,000 miles (under 6,500 km) on the odometer up for sale on Bring A Trailer. The result wasn’t exactly what they’d hoped, though, because it failed to meet reserve. While we can’t know what that figure was, we do know other important numbers like the MSRP, which was $139,625 including delivery.

Less than a year later, with low mileage, the open market wouldn’t bid above $106,000 for this super sedan. That’s a hefty 24 percent drop in value over that time and mileage. Interestingly, it also took a bidding war to get the price to that figure. Eleven minutes before the hammer fell, the high bid was just $88,000.
It’s not as if there was some sort of major issue with this car either. It features Marina Bay Blue paint, a black interior with Merino leather upholstery, the M Carbon exterior package, quad-zone climate control, carbon fiber interior trim, and a clean Carfax report.

All of this is even more interesting in the wake of another BMW M5 sale we highlighted here. Someone recently paid $196,000 for a super-low mileage example of the previous generation of the M5. That’s a cool $52,000 over MSRP for a car that is three years old. Why the discrepancy? Well, it was the CS special edition, but as one commenter in this new auction put it, “Buyers have spoken, they don’t want HYBRID TECHNOLOGY in performance cars!”
No doubt, this latest M5 is a good car given all of the caveats worth considering. Despite that, it appears as though it might not hold its value as well as the previous generation, at least not for a while. It would’ve been interesting to see how much a wagon version would’ve sold for. It’s doing well in the U.S. market. Maybe it’ll hold its value better than the sedan.
