Should I repair total loss E93?

AamirAtl · 05-27-2017, 12:54 PM

So after enjoying this M3 on occasional weekends I parted with it today. Forum member khailo99 looked through the entire project history I posted here and came down from Indiana with his nephew. After checking it head to toe he really liked it. He beat me up a bit and ended up getting an amazing deal!!

I am happy the way the rebuild project turned out. I'm glad it went to a forum member and I hope he will drive it more often than I got to. Will miss the sound of the S65 and the top down driving in the mountains. Bittersweet.

Congrat with the sale.

Do you mind telling us how's the deal end up?

If you are referring to sharing the sale price, I will defer to the buyer. He may have an interest in keeping that private in the event he wants to sell down the road. Suffice it to say he scored a deal!!

Great job putting it back together and congrats on the sale.

Regarding the sale price - fair answer, but you could share the numbers for the rebuild total, right??

I realized I never responded to your question about repair/rebuild cost. Parts and labor including detailing, all in, I spent approximately $9000. Given my ties to the auto recycling industry, I had a significant advantage, which contributed to the low repair cost. Without such access I would guess the number to be closer to $12-14K.
