Fuel-saving revisions are welcome, but B-Class continues to trail its competitors on price, drive and ability.
Come resale expect to reclaim between 43-47% of the B-Class' new value after three years and 36,000 miles. That compares favourably with the Volkswagen Golf that claws back around 39-49%, although both are beaten comprehensively by the 1-Series. After the same time and mileage the BMW returns an incredible 45-55% of its new value.
