Well suspect that when these chip shortages stop (2022?? Who knows!) then I guess they will fall back to their pre chip shortages market prices so yes I guess buying used now could see a larger depreciation drop than usual.

I have my 2017 540 from new , it only has 23k miles on it so I am planning to keep mine for time being
Items putting me off buying new at present include :-
Chip shortages - not getting desired spec of car or delay
Speed limiters coming in on new cars from march in the EU (not sure exactly how they will be implemented yet)
LCI g30 doesn't really appeal , 550 is only model of interest but a lot of cash and some thing I don't like about it compared to pre LCI
5 series g60, will have to wait on that given above items. Not keen on where bmw are going at the moment with things like non circular steering wheels and touch screens for a absolutely everything - think they moved away from good ergonomics to gimmicks which seems fashionable now.( how can ergonomics be a fashionable thing?!)
