Buying the car back and parting it out.
We should have it next week and will start posting pics of the condition.
Get your name in if you want dibs on parts.
Highlights:
stock turbos work great. We will check them carefully once removed.
Hpfp seems to be fine. No starting problems.
Injectors work well enough on MHD stage 2
Aluminum trim, black interior, iDrive with NAV, logic 7,
And I will move this over to the for sale section
Out of curiosity how much does the insurance charge you to buy it back?
A bent frame rail means the car cannot be properly repaired. At best you can use it for parts. Sorry man!
Check your harmonic balancer if everything got shoved into the front of the motor. I've have two instances where the snout of the crank got bent and it wobbled like a madman. Replacing all the parts on the front of the crank proved useless (balancer, timing sprocket etc).
If it wobbles, the motor is pretty much junk.
I like this idea. We will check the seams with a gauge.How do the door to fender seams look? If still good you could prob repair this thing and get by just fine, provided you do not have an extreme OCD complex like some of us (simply by knowing what lies beneath).
