Front End Collision 2015 BMW F30.. thoughts?

So yesterday as I was inching out to get a view of incoming traffic (due to a street pole blocking my view), a truck passed by in front of me and the screws on his rim caught my bumper. Luckily I was not badly injured (the jerkiness has caused my back to hurt a bit) and the driver in the truck was fine. Knowing that BMW parts are quite expensive and labor as well... I just wanted to know if these damages might classify the vehicle as a total loss.. Any thoughts? Its evident the whole front needs to get replaced and the A/C stopped working...

The screws on his rim will not do that much damage.

Yep. Story is BS.

Believable damage!

Having been the victim of automobile damage caused by commercial vehicles, this particular damage is believable and definitely can occur from the rotating wheel or wheels of a heavy class rig. I’m a retired State Trooper with thousands of traffic crash investigations under my belt. More than I care for were fatalities. The crash damage pictured here did originate on the drivers left and was produced by a rotating mass of a commercial vehicle wheel. The debris field and the multiple force vectors causing the damage also support the driver’s claim. I doubt it will total the car, but it is in the plus 10k damage range. Let us know how it comes out.
