Not bad! Love the color combo! Hope your back is better.

BTW did you own a Yas Marine Blue M3 before the 340i? Just curious about your name.

I'm guessing you bought a used one based on the red stripes and black badge. put a tune on there if the previous owner didn't already and go bananas.

Wrecked my 428i M Performance coupe this morning. Does it look totaled or repairable?

Thank you! Recent flooding covered the road in mud and dirt, once in the curve the car lost traction and up it went. Luckily I wasn't speeding so the air bags didn't deploy.

Is your wheel crooked at all? My last one was t boned and it was totaled because the axel was bent. If there's frame damage it might but but if it's just the doors and the frame is still good then it might be fixable.

You can see the rear wheel is completely bent, and it's not just the wheel.

That is strictly based on the value of your car, mileage, options etc matter. It is very likely both repairable and totalled. that means it changes ownership before it gets repaired.

Also a good sign of whether it'll be totaled is if the side air bags deployed which mine did. I didn't even have that car for 6 months. 😫 lol

That's just a few control arms and maybe a half shaft. Not very expensive to fix at all.

What cost more was probably all that body damage and the airbags.

Lol it's been so long ago . Already over a year ago this post. The car ended up being considered totaled and the insurance reimbursed me 19k even though car wasn't payed off. Found out my totaled baby was bought from Ukranian guy. So far my GTI is doing great !

With how bad your right front tire bent, I'm not sure if it will ever drive like it did before the accident. Yes, I believe it can be repaired, but be aware that any sort of suspension damage can really effect future drivability pleasure. I hope I'm wrong.
