Damn that’s bad news indeed. Look on the minor bright side at least you know that will be a write off and you can get it sorted pretty quickly.

You selling the carbon mirror covers? 😂.

Real shame that pal. Hope you get a decent insurance payout.

Ask for a cash settlement based on a reasonable valuation (be prepared to argue this with things like receipts for upkeep and the full specification of your car). Then you will be able to either wait and see to find one you want or your options are open.

Also be aware that the third party is responsible for the damage to your vehicle so:
1. Your insurers will be recovering their outlay from them, and;
2. Your uninsured losses can be recovered from them

Damn, that is crazy.

How long did it take to get a fire crew out?

So sorry to see the after photo .

Hope that your insurance comes through for you and gets you into a similar ride. Look on the bright side if you can wait, you get to decide if the G8x is worth a look or go back to the F82 at a lower price.

That's a horrible sight, I can imagine how you would have felt watching it go up in flames

Insurance question: is this seen as the other party at fault? Or is it two separate incidents as far as they are concerned?

The right rocker panel blade can be salvaged. Not all is lost.

Ahh man, I think the previous owner is a member on m3cutters.

LBB is such a nice colour on the M4 (I nearly bought 1 in that colour myself), looks crap on an M2, but really suits the M3 / M4.
