I do appreciate the supprort Amigo! 
Seems to be the smart move with modern BMWs - leasing. I mean, I've done everything right by this car - always original parts, all intervals and service done. I've invested thousands into this heap of crap over the years, never even drove it cold - warmed it up even in August. Sure, I revved the engine a few times, but I only redlined it once in the entire time I've had it, and hey, I was under the impression that BMW inline-6 engines actually like to be revved. Guess what? None of that matters now - nobody's problem but mine

Bro, two things:
1. Shit happens.
2. Don't let such one-time events ruin who you are and what you believe in. A lot of people looked up to you in these forums - for help, for updates, and for your enthusiasm, and rightfully so. Such depressing out-of-control events happen - maybe a 3rd person analogy would be if you end up pledging to never go over the speed limit in your entire life, 50 years of good driving pass by, and a drunk driver hits your car and the police officer calls it your fault. What would you say to such a person.
That said, your words about spending time with family, getting your priorities in life straightened out, and not loosing on the opportunity to do things because of a car-obsession are absolutely correct.

Very sorry to hear V! 
I can understand you're mad about it, but flaming around the forum about how stupid is to mod BMWs etc, is kind of "f*ck you" to us
