A 2015 BMW 3-Series in Canada sits at a median of $15,995 right now. Half the market lands between $13,500 and $18,888, so anything under $13,500 deserves a hard look at why it's cheap, and anything over $18,888 needs the condition or history to back it up. The typical car has around 123,609 km on the clock.
That $5,388 spread is where the real negotiation happens. A car at the low end and a car at the high end can both be fair prices. The gap usually comes down to mileage, service records, and how the seller has kept it. Use $15,995 as your anchor and work outward from there.
How mileage moves the price
Kilometres cost you about $201 for every 10,000 you add. Put differently, a car with 80,000 km on it should run roughly $880 more than one at 123,609 km, all else equal. It's a gentle slope, not a cliff, so chasing the lowest-odometer example often means paying a premium that outruns what the mileage actually saves you down the road.
