My 06 m54b30 e53 is now in the junk yard

If you live near Chattanooga the E53 that I owned is now at the LKQ junkyard there. It arrived today.

It was hit by a person who ran a red light back in March.

It has a completely new entire cooling system in it among lots of other new parts. Motor ran perfectly. Trans and transfer case are perfect as well. Both recently serviced and new fluids.

Also has an oem hitch.

Interior perfect as well.

It is. Only needed a steering rack to get back on the road. But I was well compensated for all the work I put into it.

Yup and yup. All oem.

The irony is the hitch on it was taken from an e53 in the same yard. Lol

That was totaled!? Unless there is damage on the rear or other side that's like $500 in parts.

Glad you're okay and that the insurance co made you whole.

My wife was driving it and my 4 year old was with her.

Here is the video of the accident from a person recording behind her. Start the video at 14:08


https://youtu.be/nxiMENj9MkI

My wife's spine is damaged from the crash. Still litigating that. She has to do therapy every other day now.

I actually had the parts from another e53 that I bought for the interior.

However..... I was paid 7600 bucks for the damage.

I also had to get her a car the next day as she drives to school every day. So, just let the e53 go.

I'll find another one to fix eventually.
