What moves the price for a specific Bmw 3 Series

The tables above are population medians. An individual lot's realized price depends on mileage, damage location and severity, whether it runs and drives, keys, title brand, and the auction location. Residual's valuation model estimates a specific vehicle's expected sale price from those factors, using the same realized-sales data behind this page — see how accurate it is, measured weekly, or the API documentation for programmatic access.

These figures are measured statistics of realized auction sale prices, not a valuation of any specific vehicle, and not an appraisal. Data updates as new sales settle — see the Salvage Price Index for market-wide trends.
