Yes. The lender is legally required to sell the vehicle at public auction for as close to the fair market value as is possible. The proceeds of the sale of the vehicle is applied to the loan balance and the borrower is responsible for any deficiency and possibly additional fees.

Probably. Anytime a vehicle is towed or repossed the person(s) who take the vehicle are responsible for taking necessary precautions for securing it and the contents. In the majority of cases this would be an issue for small claims court. In which the owner would have to present proof that the articles were in the vehicle and the value.

Is it legal for the buyer to be charged the full price of their repossessed vehicle?

When a vehicle is repossessed it is sold at a public auction for the fair market value (or as close to such as is possible). The borrower/debtor is responsible for any deficit in the amount between what the vehicle is sold for and the remaining balance of the loan contract plus additional fees such as cost of the repossession action. So, in that context, the person is responsible for the "full price" of the vehicle.

What is the current book value of a 2004 BMW m3?

The "book value" or "Kelley Blue Book" value of a 2004 BMW M3 is dependent on many variables. The value of the vehicle is determined by the miles it has, the wear and tear of the vehicle, whether or not the vehicle runs, and whether or not the vehicle has body damage. The value is also determined by whether it is the coupe or the convertible model. Therefore, there is no standard value of a 2004 BMW M3, as this is a used vehicle and each vehicle will be worth a variable amount.
