Hey E60BEEMER,
Seems that the front chassis has not been destroyed after all?!?
As we all know the whole front chassis is made of aluminum and the engine (since '07)
is bolted with magnesium bolt to the front frame.
Also the front fenders and the hood are made of aluminum.
It's a hell of an repair and I doubt that it is worth it.
So I would be very alert with the fixed car.
Did you send in any more pics of your damaged car?
Please give us the link or post some more.
