You pick them up for $1,000.

Only liability ins with the highest deductible possible.

You don't care what happens to it and nobody really bothers them.

If it dies you leave it where it is, take the tags and pick up another one.

Do the math on what it will cost to drive or transport the 318 between coasts.

You'll likely break even.

Tell her to buy a POS with good tires, and good brakes. Going forward is optional, just make sure it stops well. A older Ford Taurus might be a good option. Cheap, room for friends, safe, and she won't be heart broken if it gets trashed. Leave the BMW at home safe for when she graduates.
