Ouh shit! Glad that you are OK 
Did the airbags go?
That seems like such a bad crash that the front helpframe could be damaged.
Is you E60 with the M54 or the N52 engine.
If it is the N52 it will be even a more expensive reparation.
Can the drunk fu**er pay?
No insurance will pay his/her crash!

I am actually surprised the insurance is saying it is a repairable car! from the photos, it looks like a total loss. Also, since it is clearly established that it is not your fault, your insurance will claim off the other driver's insurance - so it won't cost them anything!! unless ofcourse both of you are insured by the same company then they'll fork out for both cars and will need to cut their loss to the minimum.
I believe that if the other driver was drunk, then his insurance policy is nul & void and he's on his own. That will teach him a lesson.
Don't you worry though, if they go for a repair, you can always Part-Ex the car for a newer one.

I want another car. The same, a lesser model, a different model, a second hand model that i dont know. Depends on the money they will leave on the table.

I think they will give me 17OOO euro for the wreck, i think the damage is 12 a 17OOO euro. So i think its touch and go on total loss status. But even if the actual value is not reached a lot of times experts say its not a real loss but a economical loss status. That is if they fear that repairs on first vieuw will not be sufficient to 1OO procent repair, with other words if they fear after repairs the cars engine could show hidden failure break ups or vibrations on the car that you can only test after repairs and not emidiatlly
So i hope they will declear a economical loss if a total loss is not reached.
car was about 5O.OOO euro so i think 2 years will result in a 3O procent decrease in value.
