My Ride: 05' 545i Sport Sapphire Black
The car is already back together and perfect. They performed this frame xray and everything is within 1mm of specs. I dont see anything wrong with keeping it. Title is normal. Do you guys think I should sell it?

I took the car to a shop and they looked at it and you could not even tell by looking under the car.

if you tell the buyer what surgery u performed on this car, i can 1000000% assure you that , NO ONE WOULD BUY IT, unless you hide the truth and dont mention it, which is unethical.
If you were buying a car and see these pics, i doubt that you ll go ahead with the purchase.
GL and congrats on the successful operation
Enjoy your car

No biggie. That's about how much I removed to install my AE LEDs.

The car's warranty expired while in the shop. I took it to BMW here in Gainesville and they said they did not do body work to that extent. It was about $4000 to repair. I bought the car in TX from a dealership and had no idea that the rails were damaged. The rails were welded poorly and the welds began to fail causing a horrific noise when I turned left.

I remember last year when he was talking about picking up this car across state lines and I (along with others here) suggested NOT doing it....then the mention of the windshield "popping" as he drove it away from the lot, and yet he STILL drove it home! 
I must confess, he does maintain his persistence where making it "Work Out" is concerned! Good Luck with the now repaired car, I hope it makes you happy!

Out of curiousity, was a Carfax report requested and reviewed prior to the out-of-state purchase? And if so, then what did it say about previous accident damage?
