318is totalled after a month of ownership

[Lodsin]

Fuck.

Just noticed this.

Well played Trey.

Sure give him the credit for being a grammar :hitler:.

Edit* Did you by chance have a working 13 button obc? Dibs.

Sorry to hear ! :( :( Agealy and Sumyunguy

Sell it out right for $1500ish, cause that's a little less than you'd get for parting it without the hassle.

If someone would be willing to take it off my hands for $1500, I'd be happy to sell.

No 13 button OBC, sorry.

Here are some pictures of the damage:





Right now I'm just working on getting everything squared away with state farm and the DMV. I'm not sure what the procedure for selling a salvaged is, seeing as it won't have any plates or registration. Do people just get the car towed?

dude that is a super easy fix..if you know someone with a welder.
just cut off the old rad support and weld in a new one.
The frame isnt even bent.
Madness if they give it a salvage title..

I wish I still had the photos of a car I did that was a shit load worse then that...

This is the only after pic that I have.




FIX IT!!!!!!!!!

If you decide to part the car out yourself then I would be interested in purchasing the trunk. I also have a spare alpinewhite2 trunk I can give you to keep the car looking complete but it has a dent.

Srsly fix the damn thing, itll be worth it. even if it is a salvage..

Dont pull the plug on a fixable e30. At that rate e30's will drop like flies.

Sorry to hear man, damn deers.

Yes, I am buying it back from the insurance company. But I'm still deciding on whether or not I'll part it out myself. I'm going to have to weigh the value of parts vs. the time it'll take to get everything sold. I'll try to get pictures up tomorrow.

Ive been trying to make that exact same decision for a while. I also have a totaled alpine 318is with pretty much the same parts. I'm probably going to part mine out as I'm having trouble finding a buyer for the whole car.

Your car looks pretty fixable though, with a trip to the junkyard and a winch you could have the front end back together in an afternoon. Ive done it before.

[Dozyproductions]

take your inspiration from this: just fix it (go to about 4:20 left into the vid)

[Optimator]

This seems rather fixable. A rear end, as I found out, is not easily fixed. :(

[SamE30e]

That sucks, but isn't that bad. It's fixable for sure though.

[sumyungguy]

Do not part it, sell it as a whole.

If I had the $$ Id be buying my old car back.....

[Kilawin]

damn that sucks...what are the blue circles on the windshield? deer remains?

[redhatpat]

That's totally fixable. Replace hood, left fender, weld in new rad support. Find a friend with a welder to do the rad support if you can't do it. The lower valence isn't even dented! You can probably do all the repairs for under $1000 including professional paint.

How many miles are on it?

And the damage is not bad especially for someone with used parts and mechanical knowledge.

I would fix it in 3days tops, and give it a wax.

[Bimmerista]

Umm....that is totally fixable....and an easy fix at that.
