Wrecked!

Well title says it... i wrecked my manual x5 it was my fault everyone is ok, no other car was in the accident...

So my question is should i keep or rebuild...
It hit on the drivers side, air bags dodnt deploy...
Driver headlight and fender are gone, bumper and hood gone,and the bumper carier is bent in.
Air filter bottom of the box is gone. No leaks though...radiator isnt bent. But fam shroud is bent and wont allow fan to rotate plus some fan blades have broke off...

Damn dude that sucks! The important part is everyone is ok.

If you decide to part it out I am interested in your coilovers, spacers, and headers.

Keep it and rebuild it. At least it won't have a rebuilt or salvage title.

That really sucks. Glad everyone is okay! I hope you fix it.

If you decide to part out though, I'd be interested in the UUC SSK.

I'd say sell it. You can probably buy an e53 4.4 or 4.8 for nex tto nothing in Cali. I know they are practically free in Canada now.
