BMW carnage.....

wait, wat? you got collision on that? I am no old bimmer aficionado, but how much is that actually worth? not wrecked that is. KBB only goes back to 89, and a 325i with 100K and good condition private party ia $1550. At that point I wouldnt run collision, I would just sue the retarded driver for the value of your car private sale. much cheaper insurance… and as long as you have enough money to get another ride in while you ride out the law suit, or have another car anyways… you might want to think of it next time around.

or I am totally retarded, and your insurance with collision is dirt cheap. I dunno.

it was his fault. so they will cut me a check for the totaled car. i’m assuming somewhere between 300 - 1000 dollars. which if i got a grand i would freak out. lol

Even if you straightened it out you better be putting a cage in to make that portion of the chassis somewhat rigid again. All that bending and straightening of the metal weakens it. You’d have to reinforce in the effected metal I’d assume.

I believe you are right, and i will most likely just part it out. The guys on the e21 page of bimmerforums.com are always looking for parts.

There is a guy up the road from me with an E28 just sitting in his yard. i am gonna stop and talk to him about it, see if i can get it for cheap!
