Medians and ranges are USD completed sales; counts include every tracked currency. The 12-month change compares the past 12 months’ median with the prior 12 months’ and appears only when each window holds at least three sales — it tracks the median of what actually sold, so it moves with the mix of years, trims and mileages that came to market as well as with the market itself. Methodology
The numbers above describe what has already happened at auction. DriveIndex’s Head-to-Head Verdict puts the M5 and the M6 side by side on mileage-adjusted fair value, the Value Signal, 1–5 year projections, market liquidity and running costs.
