    Whats important is that you are okay, hope the wife has a speedy recovery with no long term aches.

        Sorry to hear. Buy it back from insurance, you will make out much better being able to sell stuff off the car for good money. They usually only want around 15% of the car's value.

          Thanks guys.

          Interestingly enough I'm already looking at a potential replacement. It would involve a 1-way plane ticket and fun drive back to WI. We shall see once I know on Friday exactly what insurance will pay out to me.

                Jesus, glad you and your wife are okay. Looks like the 135i held up pretty well. That's one thing that kind of scares me about my e30. I don't think it would hold up nearly as well as this did in the event of a crash, plus no airbags 😕

                  Dang! Sorry to hear and see this. Glad both of you are okay, for the most part. I wish your wife quick recoveries.

                  That being said... I'll take the LSD if you don't get another 1er. I would also be down to swap interior trim if you don't have a use for it.

                  PS: Jet black or black sapphire metallic?

                          Snap texted me a pic the other day and I was surprised how well the front end absorbed all of the crash.

                          Hopefully your wife recovers quickly. Whiplash and spinal injuries are no joke. Luckily you guys didnt sustain any other injuries.

                          I vote for you to get a compact, buy the car back from insurance, and then swap the n54 into the compact. That would be one insanely fun and fast car=)

                            Thanks guys, really appreciate all the good thoughts.  :)

                            I've been chatting with a guy in VA who has a very clean 135i for sale and as long as it's still available by tomorrow and insurance doesn't screw me over, I will be putting a deposit down. 

                            however, if it falls through and I can't find another suitable 1er, then susp I will definitely hit you up about the LSD - I already uninstalled it last night and it's all good. I got a screamin deal on it for 1700 bucks (pre-2007 335i bolted-on ring gear, complete with pumpkin) and I could easily sell it for 2k+ but I'd obviously just sell it to you for what I paid for it.

                                    You're assuming she will touch the car at all, sir. That's a big assumption. She can keep to her big boat of a Honda Pilot  :lol:

                                        Sorry to hear about the accident! Glad to hear both of you are relatively okay! That thing doesn't look bad for 60mph into a median. Buy your 1'er back. And sell me those wheels. ❤
