DarinD 8 Report post Posted September 15, 2014 Justin pretty much nailed it. Photo didn't really show full extent but I don't have any others. In addition to bumper, bootlid and lights, both rear quarter panels were pushed outwards, muffler took a bit of a hit too etc. For a car that had an agreed value of $7000, not worth the repair in their opinion I guess. Wouldn't call the pay out good or bad. Nor is it gonna pay for the M3 but figured it's as good a reason as any to upgrade. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No name user 379 Report post Posted September 16, 2014 Old bmw, doesn't take much these days Steve. Someone on facey were parting out a mint e28 that had minor frontal damage, needed new bumper, valance and maybe grill and lights and that was a write off. Such a waste of a car. Gutted as i so agree its a dam good looking car or was at least insurance companies dont quit have the same passion as the owner sadly 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DarinD 8 Report post Posted September 17, 2014 No excess as I wasn't at fault. It's about what I think the car was worth, being a manual, and with the vaders and coilovers. Was certed too. Using it as a chance to upgrade! Nick, any chance you're looking to sell soon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

m325i 711 Report post Posted September 17, 2014 Nick, any chance you're looking to sell soon Ha, not really. But on the plus side there seems to be quite a few on the market ATM. As you are a highly educated and enlightened individual that understands the advantages of SMG you are in a great position to scoop one up! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Top Secret 2 Report post Posted September 27, 2014 Thats why i have my cars insured with classic cover..... they are car people and are much more likely to try and rebuild than replace Ah, I think I remember setting you up with insurance actually. That car list looks familiar. 205 powered by an mi16? While we are car people through and through, we have to remember that insurance companies are run by beancounters at the end of the day, so the economics of a situation tends to rule when it comes to repair versus value of the vehicle. Darin, sorry to hear! E36s never appealed to me, but your one did. Good luck with parting it out and I hope you don't get too many crackheads expressing interest.
