I think it depends on a lot of factors. When I tried to trade them my 2006 550i during the peak of the gas prices (in 2008), I was offered $28K for a car that stickered for $70K two years earlier. While I was not pleased with that number (and did not take it), I believe it was CarMax's polite way of saying "um, we really don't want your V8, no matter how clean it is or how few miles it has "

As for the 1M prices - they are what they are. I don't think too many "decent" ones (cars not in accidents or used by BMW at the PDC) are going for less than $60K these days.
