Which Holds Its Value Better, Black or White BMW 5 Series?
2 Answers
The white BMW 5 Series holds its value the best. Here are specific details about BMW: 1. Background: BMW cars, produced by Bayerische Motoren Werke AG (abbreviated as BMW), include main series models such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. The company is renowned worldwide for manufacturing luxury cars, motorcycles, and high-performance engines. 2. Features: BMW cars have distinctive body designs, with round lamps paired with rectangular radiator grilles creating a unique style. BMW follows its own unique business philosophy, adhering to a 'premium strategy' that pursues the highest quality, thus not following trends to reduce costs through global procurement.
Recently helped a friend handle several used BMW 5 Series, and found that black ones indeed generally hold their value better. Especially mainstream configurations like the black 525Li are particularly sought after in the used car market. Currently, when used car dealers purchase vehicles, they typically offer 3,000-8,000 yuan more for black models compared to other colors by default. There are several practical reasons behind this: black cars appear more imposing and are particularly popular among business professionals; compared to white paint, color differences in black touch-ups are less noticeable; many corporate purchases specify black, which invisibly boosts demand. Of course, white also has its advantages and is quite popular among younger car owners in southern cities, but overall, if you want to retain value, it's advisable to prioritize black, especially when a model refresh is imminent—the price difference becomes even more pronounced then.
