One of the reasons that BMWs are so cheap is that the used market for them is oversaturated. Cars are products, just like any other, and when there's a lot of supply and not as much demand, then the prices drop. In case you have ever looked at a new BMW, you'll notice that they have really good lease deals on almost every model.
