I use:-

BMW parts catalog

I am not saying it is perfect, but it does show superseded parts and parts that are NLA as a guide....

I'm sorry to say Ginger that I personally wouldn't want to have that car repaired. You might be able to get a decent cosmetic result if you spend enough time/money on it but I doubt the car will ever drive as well as before the crash. The main skeleton of the car has taken a serious hit and its going to be a lot more damage than it appears once you start taking bits off.

I'm all for ignoring the maths when it comes to saving one of these wonderful machines but I sadly think yours is toast. In saying that I would love to be wrong on this one.

Could you ship the whole car back to the States - that might give you more options for repair or perhaps a reshell?

From my limited mechanical experience and basing my assumptions on common sense - I too would avoid trying to repair this sort of damage. Your best bet is a re-shell and you may find the car turns out better than before.

If I reshell it will be a B38 powered e30. I have decided to go ahead and part it out.
