Hello family,

I haven’t updated this thread in a while, simply because I just haven’t done much to my car. I drive it and do regular maintenance when she needs it. I take her out on the weekends and enjoy the heck out of her.

These past 2 years have been rough for me. I’ve had financial issues. Family issues and so forth. But when I would go to my garage every now and then, seeing my E30 would make me smile.

October 21st, 2026 I was driving to pick up my mom to take her to breakfast for her birthday. About 10:30am I was crossing over an intersection when I was T-boned by a Ford Explorer. By the grace of God I saw her coming and accelerated. She hit my rear quarter panel. It could have been worse.

I am okay, but now my car is considered a total loss. I am at a crossroads with the insurance. Take 9k or keep the car and receive $6500. Not sure what to do as I am devastated. I’m sure the repairs will be more once it gets to a shop and on a lift.

Anyways, thanks for listening.

Glad you're ok, cars can be replaced people cant.

Insurance is definitely lowballing you. These cars are now worth $15k minimum so they are about 60% of what its actually worth.
