BMW E24 635CSi - Officially written off

[stinkinrich]

So you did buy it back, costing you 21% of the 6.5k?

[Jorge]

Value was £6500, then the salvage value was 21% of this, which was subtracted from the total offered to me, leaving me with £5135 and the car exactly as it was at time of accident.

And Rich, the car is coming back to me end of the week/early next week! So they're up for sale straight away to pay for a new car lol

Yh sorry I was talking shit lol, thought cus you had a hefty pay out they keep hold of the car. But you get the car back aswel?! Looks like im not too clued up on how insurance works haha

[Jersh]

Wow, I was just thinking about this car today. So sad to see it go out like that. Good luck on your search for a replacement, I'm actually looking at possibly trading my Corrado for an '83 633csi right now. If I do end up getting it, I hope it eventually looks half as amazing as yours did.

Black with Lotus white interior is the dream, one up north but it is a little out my budget

Exactly what I want.


Yeah, but rear quarters and parts that needed replacing were around 10k inc VAT plus paint and labour, just wasn't worth the repair.... I could fix it myself with the cash but rather go for a straight car I think.

[Byron]

Horrible thing to see, especially after reading how excited you were to get it a few pages back. Hope you get another one, your plans sounded awesome.

[Khalil]

Glad your sticking to E24s!

Oh man those rear quarters

[WideFive]

someone better have been delivered a viscous ass whoopin!

shame you couldnt nab the rims back in the mean time.

Grey on black > any other colour combo.

[DannyE32]

is amazing the difference of quality between that old shark vs the newish korean crap.

i mean... that hyundai looks like if it crashed a wall.. and the bimmer barely broke the tail lights.. In my country the people would have kept the bimmr and fix it in a shop with chassis alignment bench. we did that with a Z4 roadster that felt down from a bridge and virtually broke in 2. after the fixing the BMW dealership couldnt tell if it was even ever crashed..

nice to know you will go for another shark.. i vote for black on black

[Jorge]

Silver lining and all that I have to think about, payout was twice that I paid for the car. But it was mint, so got to find another mint replacement. Not going to rush into buying will hold out for the right car.

She should get her drivers license taken away.

This. On grounds of destroying automotive cultural goods with some kind of lifeless kitchen appliance.
