Wrecked my 4 day old 318is, rust free car from california, the best E30 I've ever driven. Long story short, driving through some twisties at night (1:30AM), 15mph turn that I was taking at a good 35mph, I hit the apex perfectly but then the turn suddenly became VERY sharp, it had a double corner to it and I wrecked. Cops came and they told us the turn is notorious for accidents and it coulda been a lot worse as there were two bodies of water adjacent to where I crashed on both sides of the road...

I don't know what to do. Should I part it out? Should I "rebuild" it? the driver door opens and closes perfectly, the gap isn't too extreme, the strut tower definitely has moved closer to the fuse box but hasn't shifted too much. the car has no real sentimental value to me as I've had it for 4 days but it was definitely an AMAZING car to drive, 150k on the clock and the M42 purred like a beauty.
Yes I'm alright, 35+ mph into a tree and I walked away, it was pretty much a dead fucking blow, no give at all. Motor was still idling perfect. I have some neck and back pain which I will address as soon as I go to sleep and wake up, if they're still there going to get it checked out.
