well this is how it happened i was driven home at about 9pm monday night when a car was coming at me with his high beams on i had mine on too and was waiting for him to turn his off but it didnt seem like he was so i turned mine off but he never turned his off so i couldnt see when goddamn a fucken huge black cow was in the middle of the road and i hit it at about 45 or 50, ive checked the price for parts and a hood is $28.71, a fender is $28.71, and a windshield is $28.71 lol its all pullapart junkyard priceing, the raditor support is bent back against the fan and thats the only mechanical problem, already have anther radiator for it so thats nothen but idk if i want to fix it with the insurance money or buy anther car i found a 1986 635csi thats in decent shape for $1500 and theres a few others but that seemed like the best deal

But to the OP. I would not bother fixing that car. Part it out if there is any parts that anyone would want. And just use the ins. money to buy what ever car you want.

Alright well, I smashed up my last e30 too.. comparable damage. It looked pretty rough at first but I knew it could all be fixed. You will just have to keep taking broken things off or re bending metal back until you are at the point where there it nothing left to remove. Then just start building it back up with fresh pieces.
Lucky for me, when I crashed I had 2 e30 325is parts cars at my disposal..
[2 e30 1989 325is' for 800 bucks - who could pass that up??)
Anyways, I snagged the lights/ grills/ front and left fender/ hood and valance. Hooked up a winch to the rad support and evenly pulled it back to a position where the radiator fit in snug again. (decided it was a good time for electric fan conversion :))
Here is before and after, let me know if you have any questions!

How is your car mechanically? If it runs good and has no issues with starting, smoking, or rough idling then I say you should fix it and then bank the rest of the insurance money. If someone runs into you and totals your car (because it doesn't take much for an insurance company to total an E30) then use the other guy's insurance money with your money and get the 6.

the only thing mechanically wrong i know of is the bracket or piece that holds the shifterup where it bolts to the trans is broke but that will be an easy fix and i havent started because the insurance man hasnt came to look at it yet and the radiator is pushed against the fan so i dont wanna try it just yet but i found a 84 or 85 bmw 325e it dosent have a title and its a 4 door automatic but it runs and drives fine and its only 400 dollars its super straight tho so im gonna go ahead and buy it. sooo hopefully the insurance company will give me the opp to buy my car back so i can have my wrecked e30 and the 4 door e30 and fix mine with the 4 door car, plus ill have the insurance money to buy anther car, ive been looken at some e36s, old 6 series, e30s (325is's), and some 540's so hopefully by xmas ill have my car pieced together and my 4 door parts car and wat ever i buy with the insurance money. i would like so suggestions about wat to look for, for around $2500sigpic
