Non CCRC can misdiagnose and suck in tons of insurance money but ultimately still can't fix it right. The good thing these BMWs are built tough so even though the car was totaled, the passengers get to move on in one piece. |

I actually talked to the body shop manager bc we work closely together and he is letting me go this weekend to remove whatever I can off the car. I just have to replace it with oem parts and i have most of my stock parts so that works out kinda. no body shop does this from what I hear so I guess I got lucky. but anyone with a n26 328 I'll have some parts up for sale soon |

When did you purchase the vehicle? Unless it was very recent at this time and age I'm surprise value didn't go up as used car prices have sky rocketed. But be grateful you're not upside down.

I bought it October 31 2018 with 32k on the clock. declared totaled December 3rd 2021 with 85k. I've had plenty of good times so I can't be to mad. I'm a little surprised seeing as used car prices are crazy right now but idk... yeah atleast I just barely had my head above water

Since you had structural damage, it's best it's totaled as you would not want the car back. I guess in my situation I was just lucky in how I got hit as there was no structural damage despite it looking a lot worse. That's why it's hard to tell the severity from pics or even just looking at the car from above. Good luck with your next one! |

Years ago my old Nissan Quest minivan got rear ended hard, but maybe not as quite as hard as yours. Frame was bent and the bodyshop straightened it out but they were never able to get it the same as before. So now I'm very leery of frame repairs. So you might be better off having it written off.

Also just identifying frame damages needs experienced eyes and/or precise measurements, so my preference is CCRCs for any suspected frame issues. |

This is pretty unfortunate. Turn this into a blessing by getting a 340?

I'm was looking at x5 but I work as a tech at a bmw dealership and know the nightmares they can bring.almost all of them have various issues.. idk I'm kinda falling in love with the g30 540xi. around like 2018 model. looks almost identical to the f30 but bigger/more luxury. kinda like it's big brother. I don't care for the new 5 series to much I prefer the pre-lci model. but I think that would be a awesome upgrade for me and the fam
