      Subframe looks bent. I'd replace that. Motor mounts are shot. At least you can see the passenger side one is. Motor might not be saveable, but then again you could always throw a pan on it and wish for the best. Hows the oil cooler look? I have some of the stock parts you would need if you are interested. Send me a PM and we can discuss prices.

      Cheers,

      Brian

            Holy shit man. That sucks. At least you came out alright. My wife was involved in an accident on the fwy when a big 35 inch mudder came off some lifted POS. Bounced off the car in front of her, and then hit my wife's car and totaled it. Girl that it hit first died :(

            Car can be fixed. Like everyone said, M50 time!

                  @SpecRaceM5 - its a b27 no oil cooler on it however i had a setup i had built that it was going to recieve, my initial thoughts are to fix the oiling system and have it until she goes boom. you will get PMs from me in the coming days

                  @MR 325 - what year m20? i have a 86 b27. pm me.

                  @Cabriolet- i was 1 exit away from my house when it happen. i did an immediate shut down and threw it in neutral and coasted it home.

                    First off - that sucks. Secondly, I can't really see how you have your car up on jacks. But it looks to me like if you rotated those stands 90 degrees you've be a whole lot safer.

                      17-06-10 UPDATE::: had to call around until i found a u-pick-it that had some e30s. ended up getting a pristine 86 325is that had been there only 2 days.

                      was able to get:::
                      -mint oil pan
                      -oil pressure relief valve
                      -oil pump and gear
                      -front cross member
                      -oil cooler and oil filter block
                      -e36 rack and tie rods

                      all for the ridiculously high price of $90 for all of it. hot tanked everything picking up gaskets and PS hose now pulling a all-niter to have everything put back. ill put in fluids tomorrow mid-day (give some decent time for gasket maker to seal and dry) then fill with 10w40 and run it for about an hour then flush the oil and fill with sae 10w30. lets hope for the best!!!
