BMW E91 3-Series Wagon: Why So Little Depreciation?

I took a break from my regular channel content to make a review of my car, a 2008 BMW 328i Sports Wagon - model code E91. I've had this car for 5 years and have really enjoyed owning it. It's been quite reliable (for a BMW) and fairly affordable to maintain (for a BMW). This 328i Touring was in a front end collision in 2015, sold salvage at auction, and received a new hood, front bumper, passenger front fender, headlights, radiator, and core support. Exterior changes include an M3 style front bumper, post-LCI headlights, and "blackline" tail lights. I personally have changed out all of the front suspension components on this car and the rear shocks. I've also changed all fluids, replaced the water pump, and assisted an expert with the replacement of the evaporator core. Let me know in the comments if you have any maintenance-related questions about this car, or just questions about long-term ownership in general. Thanks for watching! Update January of 2025: I sold this car.
