So this happened sometime between now and Saturday night  . We are thinking that it might have been backed into by a tow truck but who knows. Dominic pointed it out to me as I was leaving work, so he was the first to notice. I hadn't been on that side of the lot so I haven't seen the car since I parked it Saturday night. This sucks cause now I'm back to square one basically although I'm still better off then the old car. Ughh! 

I don't know what to say. I feel for you man...

So I guess Geico is a horrible company to do business according to my father, still working on the insurance claim I guess. Mean while I'm gonna try to sort out the electrical issues this weekend and see if I can get some M20 valves tickking.

Figured I'd post up the full damage pics too. Looks like I need a core support also, which may lead to a euro conversion

I wonder how the hell it hit both sides

We think it was the tow arms on the back of a truck, but who knows

need any spare eta crank position sensors to help diagnose the no-spark issue?

I'll let you know, my old ones were working but I will be going over the car with a multimeter this week to pin-point the problem.

How'd this go? I know we were talking earlier today about you doin' this.

upon startup, burnout is required..

[YoungCR]

I'm thinking I might need a dme as everything else on the ignition was replaced checked out electrically. Or I could have a bad ref/speed sensors. Either way I have no spark.

[YoungCR]

Finally got the new dme in the mail, plugged it in and she fired up instantly! Could not be happier now I just have a couple things to wrap up along with the interior and I should be driving a BMW again next week!

[Earl]

Hell yeah!

The M20 was just happy to see me. The DME had nothing to do with it.
