Should I junk it or repair it?

Kabuki · 10-25-2016, 04:43 PM

I have a 2011 M3 that's been involved in an accident and he car sustained some damage to the bottoms part of the frame. I don't know if I should try and get someone to repair it or if I should just sell it

Thanks!

The guy who got in to the accident I'm assuming tried to fix it with out the insurance company trying to find out so I'm not actually sure. What I'm considering is selling this and grabbing a 5 series as a daily or trying to fix this. Though I'm aware that the car has a unibody frame, maybe it is possible to weld over this to make it structurally sound? Sure it won't be like OEM but the car right now runs fine but I'm just not so sure if I really want to be "risking it for the biscuit"

Edit: all those pics are taken from under the passenger side almost directly below the passenger seat.

I currently have someone who wants to buy the car for 23k if that's what this is worth (fully loaded with como package and Agency powered exhaust with carbon fiber vorsteiner hood and full carbon CSL trunk and línea corse rims)

Frame damage is hard to get right and expensive. I say sell it and find a well taken care or M.
