Paris is a metropolitan area with currently 2138551 inhabitants. However, there are usually not many BMW 328i on the market. Hence, the supply is low and the demand depends on various of factors for example season, brand popularity, and brand competetivness.
As shown below, cars of the make BMW and specially of their model 328i loose their value in a very standard manner. The mean selling price of the 328i will be lowered by up to 13% ($33,984) after just 1 year. After 3 years, the car typically is sold for approximately 62% of its initial selling price ($24,777) while it will only be priced at 27% of the original price after 7 years ($11,057). The 328i's value after twelve years is only 13% of its original price depending on its condition of course.

The 328i looses most of its value (~ 45%) within the first 30k km driven. The typical price for a 328i at that usage level is approximately $22,028. After that the devaluation slows down: at 90,000km the BMW 328i is priced for $13,207 in Paris and for $6,430 at 180,000km driven.
