Best way to repair any BMW front suspension in my experience is change the whole corner for a complete undamaged item, you will chase your tail as you will find alot more damage to parts that actually look ok. Its always impossible to tell looking at them. Usually you find this out at alignment time. There is no profit to be had in repairing salvage like this. You will find once your finished you could of bought a straight one for the same money. There is only one winner buying from Copart & that is Copart themselves, every time. Been at this job for 40 yrs & the salvage job is waste of time now.

I'm in agreement minus one option you missed. There's probably plenty of money to be made breaking this car. It'd be a shame to if it's savable, but in terms of the smartest option financially (well apart from not buying it in this first place lol) it makes the most sense.

That looks like it's spun and 'reverse entried' into something, whatever they hit probably fell onto the roof. Since there doesn't seem to be any damage to the paint finish I don't think it's rolled at all
@brun_s2 жыл бұрын
I agree with this theory
@ianashton1593 Жыл бұрын
My thoughts exactly, probably ended up in a ditch when you look at the tailpipe damage and mud that had to be removed from them. Agree on the roof too, some pretty hefty stuff growing in hedgerow’s.

yep, say someone having a bit of a "driftking" moment, lost control as they had no idea, span out, front corner impact first, then side and reversed entried into say hitting a sign post or something? That then fell onto the roof?

Having been involved in trying to get a Group A Escort Cosworth rally car onto a trailer after it hit a heavy steel gatepost on a rally stage at Weeton Army barracks, which ripped off the entire left front strut, we put a trolley jack under the chassis leg on the left hand side and managed to drive the car on with only 3 corners. A wheel skate with castors under your left front wheel would have done a similar job. Might even have steered.

Roof must be replaced, it can’t be repaired in an acceptable manner. Seems more suitable as a parts car.
@craigchamberlain Жыл бұрын
I was thinking the same - surely it won't have anywhere near the strength it should have in the event of a major future collision. I bet it's not practical to replace the roof either because it'll be aluminium and will either be bonded on or riveted using those special BMW rivets. I reckon the best bet is to convert it into a track car and install at least a rear roll cage. Then sell the interior to help finance the track car conversion. It'll be interesting to see how this works out. Good luck Dean.

Great car and hopefully restored to as-new. I don't think it's rolled as the highest point of the roof is untouched, as is the shark-fin aerial. Maybe caught a tree-branch on its way backwards into a ditch. I seem to remember there were not many options (less than a handful) available on these so most of it is standard. M2 aficionados / owners will correct me. Can't wait for more!

Weeeell its clear from the comments below VERY few people on TY have ever done accident recovery... the car has spun at speed, Likely cause of the roof damage is its clouted street furniture which has fallen on it, A roll would have taken out the windscreen. The question has to be asked why was no form of SRS deployed? It is VERY repairable, but needs an alignment check, and some luck finding the MANY parts needed to repair the all round damage....

I am going with track day crash. Spin on wet grass with long slow slide down tyre wall and then possibly had the barrier land on the roof. No air bags must have been a "soft" crash imho. If it had hit anything hard there would be a lot more paint missing. If it had gone in a ditch there would be a lot more grass and mud. Its certainly a weird one.
