Please help me fix my baby!
My X5 got hit by some Aholes and I have found a new front clip for it but i'm being told it will cost anywhere between $2300 (if I pull the engine myself) to $8k. They are telling me that acourding to BMW spec the front passenger sub frame rail that bent at the strut mount needs to be straightened before they can cut it off and weld the new one to the firewall. I have included pics of the damaged vehicle as well as new front clip. Everything behind the firewall and on the drivers side forward of the firewall is fine. The insurance co has totaled the car. I don't want to have to parts this thing out and buy a new one. Please any suggestions would be appreciated. The only engine damage is the air pump and the water pump snapped it's bracket off the engine. I was thinking of having this welded separately. The waterpump is fine it's just the screw hole where it mounts has snapped in half.
