Some black F 1-50 backed into my X3 2018 320i xdrive

What do you boys think? Is it totaled? I know it’s hard to tell from picures, I’m just looking for any opinions.

I will have details Monday from the geico adjuster.

UPDATE: Adjuster said 2300 and this is before it went to the mechanic. I will keep you boys updated.

probably not, crash bar and hood look ok but looks like base model (no aux coolers) so depend what they think value is

This much work, I'd only accept repair via a good BMW dealer, so they can put their seal of approval on the geometry. And a warranty. This doesn't look a small cosmetic job.

With fluid on the ground I would be surprised if it wasnt totaled.

If they don’t total the car, demand that it goes to a body shop of your choosing and not one of theirs! 😉

Even better demand that it goes to a BMW Certified body shop.

Probably not getting away without a $6 to 10k repair bill. Don't know what totals a car these days but it's likely.

Not totaled. The light is the expensive part. I'll guess $6,200 repair. Definitely go to a BMW certified body shop.

You may want to look into the lower control arm ball joint. It looks like the rubber boot is split, which will eventually lead to the ball joint wearing out. The split in the boot was not caused by the accident.
