The E60 is an excelent car. The car just looks this bad because it is designed that way.the car absorbs 70-85% of the shock so that YOU DONT GET HURT. The car is designed perfectly to be a shock absorbent.
GLAD YOUR SAFE AND SOUND. Hope your car is declared as totaled so that you get a brand new one. I would just hate to drive a repaired car

EDIT: just saw the rear glass. THANK GOD YOUR KID WASNT AT THE BACK.

It depends on the body shop.

doesnt look like enough damage up front to consider it totalled for sure. Good luck

I wouldn't have wanted to be in any other car though.

its probably not totaled. especially when the car is new.
they usually consider it totaled if the repair cost is higher than the current value of the car.

First of all, glad you're OK. I normally would look at this sort of damage and unflinchingly say it's totaled. Then, I saw what member jmsod went through. His looked totaled also, but ended up as a long repair. It may be too soon to try and make you grin, but at least that trailer hitch stamp is moot at this point, huh? Best of luck.

I'm hoping that white thing by your steering wheel is a deployed air bag.
