Sorry to hear the news. I've just got my 530i back after the wife was hit in the front RHS. They replaced suspension bits, fender, wheel, bumber bar and a few other bits. Approx. $12K (Australian $) damage. Yours is much worse than mine. It wouldn't surprise me if the insurance company wrote it off. Good luck with getting it sorted out.

I know its gutting but I think its best for you mate, like many people have said, when you get a big smack on a car it never feels the same again.
