Usually yes, and not evenly. Open the year links to see where the BMW 5 Series final-bid curve flattens — that flat stretch is where salvage buying tends to pay best.

Are these final bids what a repaired BMW 5 Series would sell for?

No. These are auction results for damaged or salvage BMW 5 Series vehicles — the price at the close of the sale, before transport, fees and repair. Retail value sits well above them.
