If repairing the frame is practical, then you already have your answer. Not to down play it, what is left, the hood, front end components and the rest of the damage is pretty much cosmetic, right? How does a salvaged title work with insurance companies? At least you are not dealing with a rust problem.
I'll watch you fix it if you decided to. 100%. I had an M3 nearly 20 years ago, and have been trying to talk an old fella, next suburb over into selling me a slate grey E46 that's been sitting unregistered in his yard for around 10 months. Such a fun car. Its a tough choice, considering you already have the wagon. But....., it sorta sounds like maybe your daughter wants it.???? Hahaha. 😊 If thats the case, you 100% gotta take us on the rebuild journey.
It would be cool to see you fix it, but I think your wagon would benefit more swapping all the good drivetrain and suspension parts over. It will be alot more work!!
Gee that's a hard one to call Earl ....The sensible thing to do is pull the train of course and drop it into the wagon along with everything thing else seats etc...... but then you've had her from new and it will never be worth what it shoud be being accident repaired..... But then that's if you ever want to sell it, and it would be Damm hard to sell it giving you've had it from new and the works she will have had..... So yes a very difficult decision only you can make bro.... She's your girl... And her heart beat will always be in the wagon ... I suppose....
@@earlmoorhead5555 I had that same bumper on mine. I also removed all the amber lights and installed the clears like yours that I sourced from Europe. Give me a sec and I can post a pic of it in my community section if you want a look. I tagged you in the post.
I think over the years you end up loving a car sometime would be hard to see and let it go but I think you really should keep it I think it's a part of your family and part of your memory it's not your fault of the car fault it was dumb idiot that didn't know how to drive fault it's a good car take time and restore it because it'll be worth it in your heart maybe not on paper but in your heart it will be😢❤💯
I don’t know… Earl, you know about cars than anyone I know and you really like that car, so… in my opinion, take your time and repair it. I’d offer to help, but I don’t want to get yelled at for pushing buttons. LOL
I don't know how salvage titles work over there but here when its a repairable write off car definitely looses a lot of value afterwards for resale, worth repairing if you're going to keep it forever but if thats not in your future plans may as well part it out now in the end its your decision on the fate of this car.
Oh no ! I m so sorry Earl 😞. I noticed the rims 👍👍 the other day on a different vid and was like hell yeah 👍. . I d fix it and keep it in the family or garage .
Tough choice tho as it is a nice car. Sometime more $$$$ trying to source parts and repair yourself. If you went down that road ide prob make sure chasis is straight before you proceed with any repairs. Stay well Earl.
You got that dad! you can fix it no one can fix your car better than you!❤️
I hope so!

I'm leaning towards gutting it and rebuilding the wagon.
Repair! That's a G ride!

Oh my bad . I think it was a different BMW I saw in the other vid .
Pull everything for the Wagon
It looks so much like my 2005 E46 330i with the Sport package that I used to have except mine was in Sapphire Black.
Yes m-sport real close different front bumper and zhp has a cam 👌

It all depends on how much money going to cost to fix it and if you have time time to fix it. I would pulling the driveline out of it. Just my opinion
