The median 1997 BMW 850Ci sold for $36,625 in 2024, against $46,750 in 2021. Each row is the median of the verified sales recorded in that calendar year, so it moves with the mix of mileages and options that came to market as well as with the market itself.
| Year | Median sale | Sales |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | $36,625 | 4 |
| 2021 | $46,750 | 3 |
Years with fewer than three verified USD sales are omitted — a one-sale “median” is a single car, not a market.
