Worse have been repaired, and that was well before they are worth what they are these days.
It'll live again assuming the insurance company don't take it and crush it.
cheers,

That looked quite good before the accident. I'm sure it's worth repairing.

This was the one with the scuttle delete I posted.
No idea how that happened. That street is just up the road from mine and a 1 one in a built up area in a 30 limit, but it's between 2 traffic lights so I generally just cruise up it. It's also facing the wrong way down the street.
Someone was doing something stupid to do that much damage/rip 3 tyres off it

It might sound daft, but isn't this repairable? All new wings and quarterpanels obviously ($$$), but how bent do you think the chassis rails/ rear beam mounts are after that sort of carnage?

The nearside front wheel looks buckled too.

By the bottom of the school? Yep.
Grrr, it will be repairable, but I would imagine insurance will right it off. Keep your eyes peeled in your local scrap yards

It will undoubtedly reappear on Pistonheads in a few months as a 'minted ' one lady owner 56,000 KILOMETRE cream puff for £34,995.
Being sterling silver and RHD, it will be easy to spot when it does make a reappearance.

I wonder has the owner had a knock on the door from Mr Ross?

No interest mate. What would I do with a rotten/smashed m3? If I had the space I would break it but I don't right now

You could break it in your driveway. The neighbours would love you.

Looks like the wall has done most of that damage. Set of wings and a door and it'll be as new. Jerseys a silly place to have an M3 anyway, I'd buy the scrap and make sure it gets a proper home here!

Driving under the influence is a serious crime, the loss of an M3 is sad enough, he could have done far worse. Deserves no payout, hefty fine and a long ban.
Ross, all we have to do is find out where the remains are and recover them!

I've been watching this car for at least 12 years, the woman who owned it should have sold it to one of the dozens of people who have made her quite sensible offers for it over the years, instead, she thought it was worth something ridiculous so let it fester and waste away only to end up being written off, I did hear that her partner was driving it whilst pissed but that's only what I've been told.
A sad end for a rare and desirable E30
