You know what confuses me. They say the engine starts and runs. I ahve trouble starting my engine regularly swometimes. I guess no major computers were hit?

I think that's what Rudy meant when he said:

Jaws of life?

I believe they use a tool that looks like a jaw to get the doors removed

Personally I think that what he's asking is too much,,, the car shows extensive damage on the left side, almost a quarter of the front of the car is missing plus the door and the left back seat door frame shows severe damage

Perhaps if you have some extra space in your garage, you could make some money selling the parts in ebay, but it will take a while until those parts start to move.
Also you could find another trashed E60, but with the front in perfect condition, then you could merge them and end up with one

That show annoyed a bit since they redid a Ford Escort (I think it was) and they used a BMW grill, BMW hood, and aftermarket BMW front lights to fix up the front.
