Thanks for comments guys. The car has been at the local BMW auto repair for estimates for insurance company this week. Picked up a few of my belongings and took this photo of the front. Dont know where the bumper went

For sure that's a total ... and I'm glad that there were no serious injuries! I'm curious about real-world situations and the experiences of drivers who can live to tell about them.

I see airbags also deployed.
What was that like (aside from the primary impacts being substantial)?
Other cars involved or were you in it solo?
Do you recollect any of the dynamic stability systems taking over?
If so, in your opinion, did they reduce the severity of the accident?

Last, not not least, what could you have done differently that might have prevented the accident?

Be well, cars can be replaced ...
