What should I pay for a salvage BMW Z3?

Work from the median final bid on this page, then adjust for the repair in front of you. A BMW Z3 with light front-end damage and keys sits near the top of the sold-price range; a water loss without keys sits at the bottom.

Does the model year change what a BMW Z3 sells for at auction?

Usually yes, and not evenly. Open the year links to see where the BMW Z3 final-bid curve flattens — that flat stretch is where salvage buying tends to pay best.

Are these final bids what a repaired BMW Z3 would sell for?

No. These are auction results for damaged or salvage BMW Z3 vehicles — the price at the close of the sale, before transport, fees and repair. Retail value sits well above them.
