it doesn't make sense this car has a pretty high salvage value why not total it sell it pay me the value and only pay out about 20k for this claim instead of 30-40k

I don't think what you're saying makes sense, if they total the car then they have to pay you or bank $60k+..if they sell the smashed up total car for $20k at auction then they still lost $40k from totaling it. That's why unless damage is almost the cost of the car blue book then they will fix it if possible. So to get a brand new M3 totalled the damage really has to be unrepairable or exceed $45-$50k in damages.
