Your car will depreciate regardless, make use of the insurance you paid for. |

If the repair is less than a certain amount then people will repair out of pocket because the loss of value from it being in the carfax is more than the out of pocket today. They want to preserve the value since they don't plan on keeping the car long term. |

I think the problem is many of us M enthusiasts are OCD so we think about it too much. Some have built "their baby" and can't let go…
Do the math first. Best bet is usually an insurance claim, then sell the car to a dealership. I'd get another well cared for car from another M enthusiast (anyone who uses Blackstone repeatedly) and build that up.

Personally, I'd be more comfortable buying a car with known and documented repairs, vs unexplained mystery work. |

just claim. And no the internet cannot tell you what will happen to your insurance, way too many things going there. One thing for sure that repair bill will be higher than many years of premiums so you are winning, not the insurance company.

Feel like that's partly because this forum are such drama queens over accident damage that makes people rush to sell the cars, with all that "waaah it'll never drive the same again" bullshit

Don't like it? Get general liability. Nobody is out to get you; it's simple business. Nobody has ever said "damn I wish I didn't have insurance" |

yup thats what I meant ...these cars can make recovering form a bad or questionable driving decision next to impossible. N/A cars are much more predictable generally speaking.
If you have a heavy right foot and little seat time you are screwed TC is your best friend. |

A Turbo f80 puts a butt load of torque to the rear wheels down early & low as compared to a na car. Just sayin. No idea what the real situation op was in. Other than broken parts. |

"putting your foot to the floor at the wrong time" is the definition of driving too fast for the conditions...

LOL. So to the OP...so sorry to hear about your incident aka accident. Sounds like the car got away from you in poor road conditions and physics took over along with geography unfortunately. Agree with the above posts on your pics posted and likely need for an insurance adjuster to take a serious look at the car. Best case you only get away with a wheel/tire/control arm replacement but honestly BMW M makes some good parts and engineering..race ready stuff so the amount of force it takes to snap some of these parts doesn't do "nice" things to things like suspension components and frames. Doubt that is all you have damaged...if so you are VERY lucky....at worst you're probably looking at a $20k plus repair from a certified shop...less from someone else. To give you an idea my son's '14 428ix just went to an adjuster for a self-pay quote for just a bumper respray, PDC sensor fix (front) and to take out dents from both doors and a quarter panel after a bad encounter with a metal privacy gate and his inattentiveness.....$4k easy repair. No body work and only part was a $255 PDC sensor to replace. You've got more than that! I had 2 flats on one of my Audi's after hitting road debris...$3.5k almost for OEM wheels and tires ($1k almost for PS4's and $1200 each a rim). As said it will be costly unfortunately....either way as many have noted. Keep us updated and hopefully it works out best for you!
