The median 2002 BMW M3 sold for $23,500 in 2026, against $16,000 in 2018. 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 |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | $23,500 | 7 |
| 2020 | $28,550 | 3 |
| 2018 | $16,000 | 7 |
Years with fewer than three verified USD sales are omitted — a one-sale “median” is a single car, not a market.
