DO you have a liscense? Otherwise you will need a broker to bid on that car.
I'm pretty sure Minnesota is a green light state for the public to buy from auction.

Mn you can buy without a license. Wisconsin and other states you need a broker.

Indeed. I almost won this 135i this past summer. Someone stole the comfort access key so in turn I didn't go up to my max bid.

Damn. Was that at CoPart, or where did you find that one?

Excuse me while I find a Minnestoian address.
You don't need an address. Bid/buy something, bring it back home yourself or ship it.

In order to bid you need to be a resident of MN. otherwise you cant without a broker or liscense.

Incorrect. I was able to bid fine with my Wisconsin address.

Yep it was at Copart. Someone hit a curb. Essentially cracked the wheel and did alittle damage under the fender. I bit up to 100$ off my max bid. I wish I just bid to win. I just didn't like the fact that someone stole the comfort access key so I wasn't willing to bid more.
I slipped the forklift guy a 20$ so he'd pick it up and show me under it. The car was essentially base model with the M-sport package and comfort access and I loved it. 87k miles.

Not true.

m6 with an individual interior.
I like that a 2'x2' section of sheet metal has been cut from the side of the car
Also it makes me cringe when they pick up cars that are going to be rebuilt with a forklift. Cant be healthy for suspension components or fuel/brake lines, depending which way they fork it... not that they give a shit
Also it pisses me off that shift knobs, key fobs and emblems go missing from literally every auction car

Do you remember what it sold for?
That's actually a fairly sought after car right there. M-Sport, cold weather package, comfort access, 6MT with a desirable exterior, interior and trim color. The BBS wheels are worth something too, I'd imagine.

The 2x2 section was cut by a body shop. It shows me that they took a second look before totaling the car out.
They are gental with the forklifts but I understand where it could go bad.
And yes. Someone made 300$ off the comfort access key from that 135i. In turn I didn't bid to win because someone stole it

The car sold for 4100$ I bid up to 4k. I wasn't willing to bid anymore due to the stolen comfort access key. If I could go back i would and just buy it. It's was very clean. I have more photos if you want to see more of the damage. Note it did have a salvage title.

I assumed salvage title. I've just always been curious what a 135i/335i like that goes for at auction.

It was up on Copart for 7 months because of title issues. It also was a nostart. I credited that to the charge that blows up to disconnect the battery and fuel pump in the event of an accident.
How much would it have been worth all fixed? I was thinking 11k?

Yeah, you're probably right to assume it was battery/fuel pump broken link.
The salvage title hurts value, I'd say around $9k currently.

It's crazy how they totaled it out for so little damage. This is the damage.

I couldn't see any bent suspension components either.
Mind you I was able to get under the car too when the forklift guy raised it up.

Mn is a "No Licence Required" state. That means you can bid without a broker from anywhere. When I bid on a 335i from NJ I had to buy a broker. Note I also lost it by 50$

Ahhhh thats how.
I was thinking of this differently. For example; I am in Minnesota trying to bid on a car located in Wisconsin. I can't currently (depending on the car) bid with a WI address so I would need a Minnesota address to get around that. But I assume it doesn't work that way. Its only for buy cars located in MN?
