His prediction is that prices are headed down substantially and waiting to buy is the better choice. 330i prices have come down. They’re not super unreasonable. If this dealer is correct I think the odds of a 330i you buy now dropping in value more than an 840i GC value drops are pretty high. So, the price difference between the two will be wider than it is right now. If that’s much of a concern for you then you could find yourself with a 330i that you can’t sell for enough to get into the 840i GC. Just my thoughts. Take ‘em for what they’re worth.

Having said all that - his video gives me some pause, but I want a 2020 pre-mild hybrid M340i and I think the same thing is going to happen to my 2018 F30 340i M Sport; I think the value of my 2018 is going to decline more rapidly than the M340i, so I’m making the swap now, while my car has more value.


Thanks for the insight. I think you're right.... I should just get the 840xi later this year instead of getting the 330xi .

I'm just so tired of fixing my 328xi but at least it's just sensors and brake discs.

Which is the B46 and N52 ? WHich model cars?

I didn't know there's a hybrid m340i .
From what I've seen of hybrid Toyotas the batteries are very expensive to replace when they go kaput. I'm still apprehensive on buying a non gas car.

Pricing:

2019 is the newest body design on the 840xi correct?
What's a good price for them used say around 50k milage?
I was looking in the forum the 2024 model retails for $90.700.
