Yup, bought it new in 2006. Ordered it in fact. The car was valued at $4,200 and the salvage price was just $450. The car had 350,000 miles on it at the time. The high mileage worked to my advantage. The repair was $5,600. In round numbers. I was smart about it and used my insurer's approved body shop, which was BMW certified also. The claims adjuster at the body shop recognized how great shape the car was in. Better even, my state does not require a salvaged title either. Win win all the way around.
