One thing to remember is when you buy from Copart it's pretty easy to export it without being here. If you buy off of eBay, BaT or online classifieds you have to have local help. I think that factors into off-shore sales.
Copart BMW finds...
- Thread starter dang
- Start date
Hi guys I spotted this earlier, in the right hands it could be a nice car ( if it is not too rusted )
Future lot. Water level marked on door. Probably not that bad of a fix but will be salvage title.
Another one..
Hard to believe what these things are going for now.
Drive train might be good.
One to watch?

Both e24 are US b34 motors so not an upgrade.
Nevermind.
It has a handful of miles, and I am not a white car guy, but pretty cool.
All of this car are SALVAGE TITLE it is not worth it to fix even that nice 2002 tii
this car is only good for parts you can not fix it they will not register this car
Maybe. Depends on where the car is sold to. Some other states don't care about things like that.
Montana is fine with this car....

Interestingly, that looks like a British licence plate.
It is odd that they call it a "UK" when they've used "2000 CS" in the past, but Copart is not known for their accuracy.
It does look like a British license plate alright, but strangely it doesn’t seem to be recognised by the DVLA and she is left hand drive also.
I wonder where is that reg. from ?

Yes I looked it up on the DVLA website too. The ‘P’ suffix indicates an August 1975 to July 1976 registration year so I maybe it was sold new in mainland Europe and then subsequently imported to the UK. Back then I don’t think you could get an age-related plate. The ‘YU’ indicates the Greater London area.
the red tii looks interesting. in georgia, cars with salvaged titles cannot be driven on public roads. this includes cars totalled for water / flood.
but, it is possible to get a salvage title reversed to a 'rebuilt' or 'restored' title. you have to have photos of the car in damaged condition and submit / document every part needed to 'restore' the car. a flooded car would be much easier here as there is no 'structural' damage that would make it a hazard. rebuild the drivetrain, replace all the bearings / etc. that became soaked ... and you are mostly there. in georgia, you have to pass an inspection by the state's inspection unit.

I'm on CoPart a lot, the "UK" is for unknown in the listing. Lazy in listing the item.
Thanks for the lesson. I never see that on the cars I look at.
