    Looks like a drifting failure. Shame

      Damages to total it?! Frame must be the issue, yes?

        I agree, there must be something up with the frame. If it was just the fender, it probably wouldn't have been totaled/ end up there.

          Im no car whiz or know anything about body repair.. but it seems like a pretty sad waste of the car.. I hope it gets purchased by someone with love for it.

          Seeing the rusted out, Philly M3 got sold for so much..

            I'm surprised to see it totaled for that little damage. However, maybe they just had regular insurance on it who valued the car low and the owner accepted their offer.

              Look at the pics, don't think that's an S14. So is it a real M3?

                Probably a real M3, someone just put an M/S5X into it. Doesn;t look bad at all. JGood repaired way worse from rust. That has to be repairable.

                  it's fixable but it doesn't even have a price yet. The ACV is set at 20k, they know it's valuable.

                    WBS vin suggests its a real M3.
                    Damage doesn't look bad enough to actually total, just low insurance value.

                      m/s5x - saw that too, and text says 4cyl.

                        I am a dealer and buy from this auction all the time. Last e30 m3 that came was flipped and brought close to 14k. Don't forget these auctions are worldwide

                          Dayum! There had to be something up with the frame or the insurance company must have REALLY wanted that car off the road. Hope somebody can pick it up.

                            If my memory is correct that is a s50 turbo m3 was for sale here in miami for a long time.. looks like someone finally bought it.. and couldn't handle it.

                            Same color... same dual exhaust (yuck) ... 24v swap.

                              That looks like an easy fix, it could be a great deal.
