I think you should try and fix it, its nowhere near as bad as the job I did on my 325, nearly a year to this day ago (click:)

Notice the tree branch through the rear window - glad it didnt go through the front or it'd have had me!

Yeah my car has had a larger crash than that (not my fault) and I had it fixed and it actually drives better than it did before. .

Thats a real shame matey,worse still only have third party insurance :cry:

My brother did the same as you in his E36 325,he was lucky enough to miss,a tree,sign post and a large rock,he also hit the kirbing dead straight causing no damage to anything except his pride and one bent wheel!

Seems most people who have crashed BM's always get caught out with the RWD we all praise so much,this proves it does have it's downsides.

Hope you get back the wheel of another soon :cool: :cool: :cool:

Sorry for you :cry:

Be sure to check with some expert about price of repair before putting the car in parts. If only the front parts are damaged it won't cost too much to repair (but if there is structural problem then it's gonna cost a lot more)

Ive tried to imagine that picture when the car was pulled back on the flat, then i tried to imaging the MAXIMUM amount of possible damage that could have been done to the car and pictured a worst case scenario for everything and my conclusion is....
"Breaking a H plate 325 Cab in that condition for such a relatively small and straight forward repair is sheer stupidity!!!!"
Sorry, i know that sounds like im calling you a moron but im not...what i mean is that even if you get it fixed and sold on, it will be easier, more cost effective and less hassle, because you get so many mindless time wasters when you are breaking a car its absolutely unreal!!!! Send the car to a garage and pay the bill when its fixed and sell the car on when you are done. It will be LOTS less hassle.

Can't believe it happened, looks really solid under the kit as well. I'm sure someone out there would have taken it off your hands as a whole for a good price.
