As Iceman quoted, the body shells are available on request.
The VIN remains unchanged.
Ah ok, that's good!

From one Mystic Blue to another, I'm glad it worked out with the e60...I hope this the major incedent to your personal damage loss was just the BMW. Lets see some pics of the happy ending all put back together again!

It is heart wrenching to see that photo But thank god no one was hurt.

with this said ..

I would have asked my insurance to total the car out because I could not drive this car comfortably knowing that it has frame damage...

As he said in earlier post his shell frame is new, that being said, the frame should be new too. And you must have very good contact with your insurance company; the word "ask" doesn't exist in many insurance cases.

The body of your car. All parts get attached to the body shell.
That's the bottom, A-, B-, C-pillar and the roof.
