When should I trade my car

I have a 2012 328i and i'm thinking of changing for another model but I don't know if I should wait for the new tech or go for the cheap deals? What do you all think?

What new tech are you waiting for? There's already plenty of tech available today.

Depends on how much faster depreciation. Depending on your current car's options, it's with high $20s. You'll loose about $4-$5K more next year, then depreciation will start to slow down.

Nothing big coming with the refresh as far as tech. Facelift, yes.

Are you getting another 3 series? Another 328?

Facelift comes out this year along with 335 being rebadged as a 340 with a new engine. The 328 gets rebadged next year as a 330 with a new engine. If it were me, I'd wait for the facelift and new engine for your model of choice

How is a new generation of motors, and the technology upgrades that will accompany them "nothing big?"
