Showing results 1 - 9 of 9
9 BMW 328xi lots for sale across 6+ Copart locations – model years 2007–2008, avg. mileage 145,000 mi. 22% clean title, 78% salvage; Front End is the top damage (78%). Bids start at $725, and recent BMWs sold for a median winning bid around $2,500 before fees across the make.
The 328xi was BMW's all-wheel-drive 3 Series for a short window before the badge moved to the 335i-style naming, built on the E90/E91 platform with the naturally aspirated N52 straight-six under the hood. Front End leads the damage board at 78%. Across the make a recent BMW sold for a median winning bid near $2,500 before fees, most between $1,200 and $6,200. Most stay in the US, picked up locally or shipped in-country.
The N52 is generally a sound engine, but it runs an electric water pump instead of the older belt-driven kind, and that pump – along with the plastic thermostat housing next to it – is a known failure point that can leave a car stranded with no warning beyond a temperature gauge climbing fast. Ask whether either has been replaced, and don't assume a car running cool today will stay that way. On the driveline side, this is the same xDrive system BMW used across the range: the transfer case and front differential both need their fluid changed on a schedule, and a car that's skipped it tends to develop a whine under load before anything fails outright. Confirm the exact body and trim against the listing photos, since BMW offered this generation as both a sedan and a wagon. Treat a hard front hit reaching the strut towers as a total-loss candidate on this unibody car.
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 328xis in?
About 9 lots, 78% on a salvage title and the rest clean or rebuilt. Front End is the most common damage at 78%, across the wagon and sedan bodies BMW offered.
Is a salvage 328xi worth buying?
Often, if the electric water pump and driveline fluids check out. BMW-wide, a recent car sold for a median winning bid near $2,500 before fees, most between $1,200 and $6,200 – a clean-title 328xi with recent cooling and driveline service is worth more than one without records.
What should I check before bidding?
Ask whether the electric water pump and plastic thermostat housing have been replaced, since both fail without much warning. Then check the transfer case and front differential fluid history, and listen for a whine under load. Cross-check the title brand against the damage photos.
Can I insure and register a salvage 328xi?
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 328xi'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.
What are good alternatives to the 328xi?
Cross-shop the Audi A4 with quattro, or the Audi A4 Allroad if you want the wagon body with extra ride height.
