98 BMW 320i lots for sale across 72+ Copart locations – model years 2013–2018, avg. mileage 122,000 mi. 29% clean title, 65% salvage; Front End is the top damage (42%). Bids start at $250, and recent BMWs sold for a median winning bid around $2,500 before fees across the make.
The 320i was the entry-level trim of the 3 Series, sold with a lower-output tune of the same turbo four found in the pricier 328i in BMW's lineup. Front End is the most common damage at 42%. Across the make a recent BMW sold for a median winning bid near $2,500 before fees, most between $1,200 and $6,200 before fees, and a base-trim 320i with routine front-end damage usually prices toward the lower half of that range. Most stay in the US, picked up locally or shipped in-country.
Under the hood is BMW's turbocharged N20 2.0-liter four, detuned slightly for the 320i but sharing the same known issues as its bigger siblings – timing chain guides and the tensioner wear early enough that a cold-start rattle is worth taking seriously, and the plastic water pump and thermostat housing eventually crack and start weeping coolant. A leaking valve cover gasket dripping oil onto the exhaust manifold is a common, cheap-to-miss fix. Since the 320i was BMW's value play in this generation, expect fewer options and simpler interiors than a 328i or 335i, which also means fewer expensive option boxes to worry about if the car needs bodywork. On any front-hit lot, check the strut towers and radiator support for hidden damage the photos don't always show.
Buying is quick: register free – no dealer license – set a maximum bid and the system bids for you up to that cap, or take a lot at its Buy Now price. Win it, pay the invoice plus fees, then pick up, ship or export.
Note: ACV and damage data come from the original auction listing. Always check the condition and title yourself before you bid.
FAQ
What condition are these 320is in?
About 98 lots, 65% on a salvage title and the rest clean or rebuilt. Front End leads at 42%, and as the value trim of its generation, mileage runs the full range from commuter cars to low-use examples.
Is a salvage 320i worth buying?
Often yes for a budget rebuild, since the N20 four is straightforward to work on and parts are common. BMW-wide, a recent car sold for a median winning bid near $2,500 before fees, most between $1,200 and $6,200 before fees, and a base-trim 320i usually sits toward the lower end.
What should I check before bidding?
Listen for a cold-start timing-chain rattle, check the plastic water pump and thermostat housing for coolant seepage, and inspect the strut towers and radiator support on any front-end lot.
Can I insure and register a salvage 320i?
Not while it's salvage-titled. You register and insure it only after it's rebuilt and passes a state inspection; once re-titled rebuilt, most insurers will write it, just not the company that totaled it. Check with your insurer before you bid.
How does the auction work?
Register free, no dealer license needed. Set a maximum bid and the system bids for you up to that cap, or take a lot at its Buy Now price. Win it, pay the invoice plus fees, then pick up, ship or export.
How do I check a 320i's history before bidding?
Every lot lists the VIN, damage type and title brand. Run the VIN through a vehicle-history report for prior accidents and title events before you commit.
