To me it looks like the crumple zones in the third picture have sustained damage. If they've collapsed even a small amount, the car will be totaled, as there is no way to repair that type of damage, and the integrity of the frame is destroyed.

Though, that's just what I'm seeing in the photo. If you have a close-up of the damage behind the driver-side fender, it would help determine the issue.

At first glance though, that looks like some buckling to me.

I'm the X5 sandwich guy. I expect to get it back next week. It is at BMW dealer working out a couple of bugs. It's all together and looks brand new again. My shop is fantastic. Tab will be in excess of 20K. Issue with mine is it did not touch the structure or the suspension. It was all of the plastic parts and the aluminum hood ect. Headlight assembly alone was 1100 or 1200 bucks. My insurance company said it usually takes damage of about 80% of value to total.
Good luck.
