I'm so glad to hear that you and your gal are ok. As passionate as we all are about the cars we drive and/or lust over, life and limb are waaay more important. Please be sure to get checked out and make sure that everything is ok. You WILL recover from this and you WILL find the car that was meant to be your forever car. There is a silver lining in there somewhere. Good luck.

Be surprised if that wasn't a write off, there is a lot of panel, wheel and tyre damage there.
Kinda fascinating to see how the plastic front guards crack and shatter, never seen that before. |

Sorry to hear about your M!!! But first and foremost; I am glad to hear that everyone is safe and recovering from minor injuries. I know the feeling when our pride and joy gets involved by idiot drivers. Hopefully, you are able to find a new suitable replacement....goodluck with the insurance claim!!

fuck, this makes me angry. it brings up feelings from my e90m3 that was totalled 4 months ago due to some stupid kid as well. really feel bad for you man, but unfortunately this car is a loss. my 2011 e90 m3 was totalled with very similar damage, gear up to fight for the value, most likely you will have to go with your own insurance as i did.

So sorry man, there are some truly awful drivers out there. It hurts to get the car exactly how you want it (ppf, exhaust, bearings etc) then have it taken away by carelessness. On the bright side your all Ok, cars can be replaced. Given the extent of the damage would you even want the car back? I have no experience dealing with insurance companies here, but definitely fight to get everything you can.

Damn man. So sorry to hear this. Glad you are both okay.
These cars are appear to be very safe, often life-saving, considering the amount of damage have endured in some of the accidents we have seen/heard on these forums.

Yup this pisses me off to read, I go apeshit when a lazy careless ass leaves a cart near the car let alone a total oblivious driver. Good thing is you guys are ok, in past experiences I’ve always called the at fault insurance provider and handed over their insured driver’s info. I feel at fault will always delay so it’s best to get the ball rolling, then I would call my insurance to give them a heads up making sure they understand I’m not filing a claim but to be ready to hear from the other insurance company. Only been hit a couple times both not being anything major, still this process puts me at ease. Definitely make sure the at fault insurance UNDERSTANDS it’s an M car, not a F’n 328 so they can provide a few experienced shops for quotes. I know I’m just stating the obvious however you never know with people. Showed your pics to the ol lady as she use to be a claims adjuster for progressive, just by looking she thinks with parts without checking frame it might be totaled. Hopefully this isn’t too much of a hassle Tyler!

Be sure to inform the insurance company about the maintenance work performed. In some states new components bring a higher appraisal value. They will want the receipts. Glad you both are okay.

Really sorry to hear your story, I remember coming up through Atlanta after picking up my e90 M3 and felt like I was in Mad Max Fury...
Unfortunately a lawyer won't be able to do much for you property wise on the car. If physical injury were involved it would be whole different story. Hopefully your state has diminished value as cars in accidents lose resale value, and especially sports cars are more sensitive to this.. Sad to say but maybe you can sell the car after it gets fixed and maybe find another one if your heart is set on the e90 M3. Another option is to take the check and sell the car as is on ebay for parts for 10k or so and hopefully you'll enough funds from both to buy another one... |

Sure, resale will be a problem but: since he is not at fault, he will/should get recompensed for loss of value, and if he plans to keep it forever, resale is not a concern anyway. |

I just wouldn't want to constantly be wondering if issues I have down the road are related to the crash. Looking at the OPs car, there's serious panel damage to non-replaceable body parts. That driver's rear quarter alone is pretty smooshed. To each their own, I'd want to start again. |

Just catching up with this on west coast late night. I hope you feel better physically and emotionally real soon.
And if you find a car that happens to be in AZ, I'm happy to scout it for you, video tour, photos, whatever you need. There are tons of BMWs around here and virtually no rain, potholes, or other nasties. PM and let me know what you need if the situation presents itself. Good luck with the next phase.

Tyler, just to add to the pile; really sorry for you reg the car, but also happy for the both of you that you're okay.
It will be a number of weeks horror fighting insurance companies and assess possible repair back in shape. Times like this force you to show what you're made of - nail'em bro! Nik |

Other side is that the car gets totaled based on the lower value, but I get a stupid low offer of a check. Quote:
I know that I do not have any time to spare for me to try and part this thing out and deal with the Craigslist madness. I barely had enough time to wash this thing much less get going with the wrenches. Quote:

It's definitely fixable and I don't see anything that would keep you from being able to restore it. |

What's the process of repairing the driver rear quarter? That's a solid piece all the way from the tail light to the base of the windshield and integral to the unibody. Are you cutting out the rear fender and molding it together? What are your feelings in regards to the suspension and possible subframe given that the front right wheel is pushed back a good 6 inches or so and facing all kinds of wonky directions relative to the other wheel. Just curious if you have experience with this. |

The doors, you can typically "skin" them and just replace the outer sheet metal as long as the structure is untouched. Literally just peel off the outer sheet metal and clamp on the new. EDIT: looking at the parts list, I don't see door skins as an option, so replacement might be necessary. Not sure on that one. The subframe is pretty stout. as long as it meets measurements it's ok. You'll likely need all new suspension linkages though. |
