Sell your damaged BMW 3 Series
No BMW reaches us in more shapes and conditions than the 3 Series, and that breadth is the point. There are E46s worth less than a set of new tyres, E90s in the hands of second and third owners, F30s coming out of finance and current G20s written off within months of registration. Each band has a different economic story, but they converge on one thing: BMW repair costs scale with technology, not with what the car is worth today. A run-of-the-mill front impact on an older 3 Series is a write-off, and the parts on it are worth real money to the people keeping the rest of the parc running.

Damage we see on the BMW 3 Series
Rear-wheel-drive loss-of-control incidents in wet conditions give the 3 Series a distinctive damage signature, with side and pole impacts more common than in the front-wheel-drive segment. N-series turbocharged cars regularly arrive with a mechanical failure alongside the accident damage, and cars fitted with adaptive LED lamps and driver-assistance sensors reach the write-off threshold on impacts that barely mark the shell.
Whether your BMW 3 Series has accident damage, flood or hail damage, a blown engine, or has been written off by an insurer as a Code 2, Code 3 or Code 4 vehicle, we will make you an offer. It does not need to run, and it does not need to be roadworthy.
