Estimated value retention: Based on your inputs the BMW 3 Series is estimated to retain 48% of its value after 5 years, worth approximately $45,456.

Depreciation estimates are modelled from typical retention curves for each vehicle type, not from recorded resale data for this specific car.

Tyres: 225/40 R19 front / 255/35 R19 rear, as fitted

Staggered means the rear tyres are a different size from the fronts, so they can't be rotated front to back.

Servicing and your warranty

Terms read 28 October 2026See BMW’s terms

“You may have the normal periodic maintenance performed by an outlet not authorised by BMW. However, BMW can only recommend authorised BMW dealers, as it has control of the equipment, spare parts and training standards of those dealers. Therefore, this BMW (New Vehicle) Supplementary Warranty will not cover a claim to the extent to which it has been caused by poor servicing performed by an outlet not authorised by BMW.”

“Consumers can choose an independent repairer to service and repair their vehicle knowing it's mandatory for car manufacturers to make service and repair information available.” and “Voluntary warranties cannot replace, change or take away the automatic rights consumers have.” ACCC, new and second-hand cars

Staggered means the rear tyres are a different size from the fronts, so they can't be rotated front to back.

Drawn at a shared scale across the compared cars and across both ends of a staggered car, so a bigger tyre is genuinely bigger. Sidewall view shows wall height (profile); tread view shows width. Price band is an indicative fitted cost, budget brand (low) to premium brand (high), for four of the one size or for two fronts plus two rears where the car is staggered, unless a verified set price is on file.
