Glad you're ok!

But this looks fixable. Some touch-up paint and a new screen door and u should be good to go!

Frame can be damaged... doors can't fix the internal frame.

I hope you are well and were not hurt. Everything else can be replaced. That's one thing about BMW is how safe the cars are made. I read an article where a guy was driving an E39 and hit a semi parked on the shoulder doing 70. He walked away with a couple bumps and bruises. If insurance is totaling the car, grab and part out what you can, and have them replace with something equivalent or better. I would not bother trying to fix it because when you go to sell the car it would have a salvage title and that will cost you $$$ in resale value.

Thank-you.

That ain't going to buff out. Based where the frame is probably bent, and the fact that the rear subframe is probably jacked as well, you may end up with a check for the car. Glad you're OK!
