I know this can be a very unpleasant surprise. When I bought my CPO 2016 550i, I paid less than 50% of the retail price despite the car being only 2.5 years old with 34k miles. Unfortunately most luxury brands have gone this way in recent years for a variety of reasons including heavy use of leasing for the first 2.5 - 3 years and concerns about medium term maintenance costs. Mercedes is the same way. Porsche is better, but only on certain models.
