Projected value of a new BMW X7
We class the BMW X7 as a luxury flagship & exotic in our 12-tier model, which puts its retention at roughly 58% after three years and 42% after five. Flagship saloons and exotics shed value brutally once the first owner is done. Some halo cars (911, certain AMG and M cars) beat this curve and carry per-model overrides.
