Thanks for your kind words and condolences everyone!
Funny story about this crash, I completely don't remember saying this though. Apparently seconds after we wrecked and I was still strapped in the car, I looked over at my coworker in the passenger seat and said "I've got another car at the house (referring to my Type R), wanna do it again??". Good to know I still have a sense of humor in clutch moments like that.
So I got a call from insurance today. The adjuster said he stopped counting after $14-15,000 in damage and just totaled it. Said it was going to be way more than that but he didn't even bother going on and adding more up, he basically said they'd have to chop the entire front half off the car and put a brand new one on the front. Apparently there was frame and motor damage!
Well there's your problem, silly.
Anyway, I estimate...$6,000. Thank god for insurance.
See above, you were WAY off
You call that a clip!
What would a crash be then!
hah, I guess it was a pretty good hit, I just don't recall it being that bad as we all walked away fine with no issue at all.
OW.
Man, that...that made me cry a little. Sorry, man.
Thanks, Jim. Sad to see her go but there's always something new on the horizon.
Damn, you're lucky he didn't have a front push bar on it!
No kidding right, I'd hate to see what something like that would do if a crumple zone on their car could do this much!
yeah, I've heard that a lot so far. I still am decided on my vote though!

Ouch.
Oh well. At least it shows how safe & sturdy BMWs can be.
It really is a safe car. I'm just glad it didn't contact around my door area as I'm sure I would be in slightly worse shape than how I came out from this one. Then again the car has airbags galore so I'd probably be fine, don't really want to test that theory though.
How fast was the guy going?? That sucks man. Good luck getting it all fixed up and perty again.
I'd say I was doing about 30 and they were between 30-40. But yeah it's done, no fixing that thing.
