Should I sell my BMW 3 Series at two years old or three?
I bought a new BMW 3 Series last year and am debating whether to trade it in either after two years or just before its third birthday. Financially, I guess, after two years it will have taken its biggest hit, but do you think it unwise to sell it then or should I keep it for another year? I do about 8000 miles per year.

The new F30 3 Series will have taken the shine off values of E90 3 Series models, so it's probably better to hang onto this one for a few more years and amortise it more effectively.
