Police found the 1 Series surrounded by vehicle parts, which experts linked to stolen cars from across the West Midlands, Manchester, London, Stoke and Nottingham.
As the officers arrived, CCTV showed O’Malley fleeing the yard by using a ladder to climb over the 12ft perimeter wall.
He was arrested three days later.
Det Con Lee Plant, said: “We found parts, keys and owners’ manuals relating to an Audi Q5, two Porsches, BMWs and a Mercedes.
“O’Malley was providing a market for car thieves across the UK, people who were causing misery and huge inconvenience to motorists.”
O’Malley was sentenced on January 20, 2017 and has been jailed for three years and seven months.
