6 in total, nearly all pre-owned. Counts refresh daily from live dealer inventory.

Is this the trade-in value or private-party value of my 2002 BMW M3?

To find out what a buyer or dealer would pay for your car, request an offer that takes its mileage, condition, equipment and history into account.

How we calculate these prices

We track 6 active listings for this vehicle across dealer sites in Illinois, updated every day. Average and median are computed from real asking prices on live listings. We exclude the top and bottom 2% of prices to reduce the influence of extreme values. This does not verify title status or guarantee that every erroneous listing is excluded. Prices reflect dealer asking prices — not final sale prices — and exclude taxes, fees, and incentives. Trim and mileage move the price more than any other factor; see the breakdowns above.
