When you buy a car from a dealership, even if it is a dealership specifically for that brand, the dealership is selling the cars at a substantial markup. Maintenance cost also factors into the value of a car and you will find that cars that have a lot of repairs high or frequent repair costs tend to depreciate faster than others.
As the mileage racks up on your odometer, the more you have to start thinking about general maintenance, such as oil changes, new tires and other needed check-ups, but it also the chances of needed major repair.
For cars like Nissan and Honda, parts are easy to find and the cars have less complicated systems, making them quicker and cheaper to work on. Buying a used car, however, typically means that the car is out of warranty and you have to rely on the previous owner to have treated the car well and stayed up-to-date on the maintenance schedule.

It basically comes down to simple supply and demand. BMW's target is volume. Its got little to nothing to do with the reliability or quality.
There is a lot more BMWs per customer as there are Mercs. This causes the price for an actual used one to tank as a potential customer would be looking at a very low millage or potentially new demo from the dealer rather than a used from a private seller. Lieutenant General. A 7 Series has a 10k out-of-warranty repair procedure for a coolant leak, and that's not the only 5 figure repair it has coming later in its life.
If people know this, they necessarily discount it from a used sale price. It's not as if people are stupid, if that were the case, this forum would rule the world. Brigadier General.
