Questions
What is a BMW E36 325i worth?
The median 1992–1995 BMW 325i (E36) sold for $10,100 over the last 24 months, across 31 recorded auction sales. The middle half sold between $6,900 and $15,500, and the full range ran from $3,633 to $28,000. Mileage moves the price most: cars with 25,000 to 50,000 miles sold for a median of $7,850, and cars with 125,000 to 150,000 miles for $10,039.

Over the last 12 months the median sale was $12,000 across 17 sales, against $9,025 across 14 sales in the 12 months before: a change of +33.0%. That compares every sale in each period, so a change in the mileage or condition of the cars offered moves it as well as the market does.
Which E36 325i colors are worth the most?

At the other end, Calypso Red sells for -27.2% (10 sales). A color with fewer than 10 recorded sales, or with no difference the sales can show, is treated as average.
Where do these E36 325i prices come from?
From 126 completed auction sales of the E36 325i on Bring a Trailer and Cars & Bids, each a public record with photographs, mileage and a final price. Asking prices are not used. Special variants, race and project cars, branded titles, parts and museum-mileage examples are left out so they cannot skew a median.
My E36 325i was totaled. How do I show the insurer what it was worth?
Look up your car in the valuation tool with its year and mileage, then start the Total Loss Market Valuation Report from there. It lists the comparable sales with links, itemizes every adjustment in dollars, states what your color, gearbox and trim are worth, and opens with a letter to your adjuster. The preview is free and the report is $199.
