What BMW 8 Series do most buyers choose?

The BMW 8 Series years with the most listings are 2025, 2023, and 2024.

These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you more inventory to compare and a wider spread of pricing and deal quality. That makes it easier to find the right combination of equipment, condition, and value.

What is the BMW 8 Series's resale value?

The table shows broad downward movement across the lineup, which can work in your favor if you’re shopping used. Several newer years have seen especially sharp drops, while the older years have moved down more gradually. That creates a strong case for value-focused buyers who want a premium car without paying new-car pricing. The 2019, 2020, and 2022 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Is the BMW 8 Series safe?

• 2023: 6/10
• 2021: 8/10
• 2020: 8/10

For the safest used buy, the 2020 and 2021 models both post the highest confirmed score of 8/10.
