Blended value of a standard 2 yr, 2k mi example, ~$102K now. The green line weighs confirmed auction sales most heavily (the amber dots — what cars actually hammered for), blends in fast-selling "just-missed" listings, and lightly smooths out month-to-month composition noise.

If You’d Bought in 2023
$100K invested 2023-02 → today (3.6 yrs), this car vs where else you could've put the money. Rebased to 100 at the start; the dashed line is inflation (break-even).
━ This car $68.1K━ S&P 500 $206K━ Gold $239K━ Luxury $66.1K━ Housing $115K₿ Bitcoin $335K (off-scale)
Lost ground to inflation. The BMW M4 (G82/G83) M4 CSL roughly 0.7×'d your money (a real 39% LOSS to inflation). It LAGGED the stock market by about 67% — the same money in the S&P 500 would be larger. It trailed housing (-41%). (Price only — a real round-trip also loses ~10–20% to buy/sell fees and carrying costs.)
