Wright-

Sobering pics- doesn't look that horrendous.... mine is a bluewater... whaaaaaa!

As I mentioned before, I'd focus on documenting your expenses and getting the value as high as possible. Do try to get to an 'agreed value' first, THEN drop the tax on them. They will throw numbers at you and will always say 'Oh these include everything'... of course all the comps they use, and you can use (adverts, KBB, Edmunds, etc) all don't include tax and license fees.

PM BMWDCTR and see if he knows anyone that might want it.

Wright,

Sorry to hear about your encounter with the burb. If the frame's damaged, I wouldn't get it fixed.

Yes, this was one of the most painful experiences of my live, to see my beloved Beast go down like this. No, I didn't feel anything, just heard the ripping of the Suburban terminating the front foot of my E39 M5.

But, now I am selling this beautiful Silverstone E39 M5 on Ebay, at a low starting bid of only $9,999! Yes, I am a motivated seller, with two kids in college next year! Not a great time for a collision of financial needs. Fix or part out, here's your chance!

I cannot say what Gustav would say about the demise of my Beat, But since Gustav has gone for a ride in this vehicle and can attest for the veracity of everything I say, except for Gustav's billiard playing ability which I understand is improving

Naturally the fact that he has sat in my car adds significant value!

No endorsement of course.

I can't believe I am burying my beloved Beast on Ebay!

Hopefully, it will all work out.

I can only imagine how you feel about what has happened here

Anyway just hope you get a good pay-out and get another M5

Sorry but you cant buy an Audi
