I doubt it.
Okay I was exaggerating (although not by much), but for a beater car reliability is definitely something of importance and any old BMW doesn't have great reliability. I say this as 10-year + owner of an E46, E36, E90 and an E83 X3 currently in the shop. They're just too expensive to maintain to be a "beater", previous owner of my son's E83 put $15k into maintenance for 5-years and even still right now its getting a $1k repair for what is a simple $100 part.
