Car got side swipped last night.

What about a 135i

[tiFreak]

I'd like to see it fixed, but I also want your steering wheel and intake, I'm so conflicted sucks that it happened though

Don't like big engines, the 128i is as big as I wanna go. Gotta look into used prices or leasing. Problem with leasing is I drive a lot when I go Mt biking, so the mileage limit could be a problem.

If I were to get a newer bmw it would def. be a 128i or 135i. I like them small.

so I've got dibs?

how does the Carbonio fit with the Depo headlights? only reason I'm thinking of getting rid of my Dinan it because it won't fit with Depos and I don't want to modify such a rare part in case I decide to sell it or I ruin it

Well crap. Sorry to see your baby in such a mess Eric. All of your mods were done cleanly with exceptionally high standards. If you don't want to fix it, I suggest selling it to someone who will. You car is still really nice, just needs a little tlc and it'll be BETTER than new. KBB is not an accurate source regarding value of these cars. Others have had the same issue with insurance companies under-valuing their ti's and have came here for verification. You should compose a list of 318ti's being sold and show it to your insurance company so they can see the REAL value. The 318ti isn't just a run of the mill e36, they tend to hold their value a little better.

Jess always knows what to say

Aren't my lights Depos, I can't remember? Tight fit though.

What's interesting is, the Geico adjuster said they will check the average price of my car in a 100 mile radius. He finishes his work, and tells me, "I can't find enough of these cars in 100 miles to get an average price, so I will have to get back with the answer tomorrow".

Keep in mind, he is checking on value based on a non modified car, and he already said the added parts don't come into play.

Have to see what he says, I really don't see how the amount he gives me would fix the car, they are gonna total it.

It's perfectly drivable, and that is what I'm gonna do for now.

how tight exactly? if it fits about the same as the Dinan I might pass on it

[L84THSKY]

Just found this on Ebayhttp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...MakeTrack=true

What do you guys think. I spoke to the seller, gonna try and see it before auction closes.

The K & N filter is squeezed in pretty tight, but not too hard to remove to clean. The Carbonio does it's job, and the filter rests on top of the brake duct.

I had the same problem when my car 1998 was totaled in 2000.
1998 Sport with California Roof.
New re-built tranny, new tires. Cruise, OBC, lower lip, rear spoiler.
They compared it to a 1998 Base. It took a mound of ads to get what the car was really worth. I told them, if I can get the exact car for what they were offering, I was fine with that. They couldn't. I would think the insurance company would work better with you since you are not at fault.

Good luck.

Geico just called. After deducting $200.00 for my deductible, and salvage value of $550.00, they are cutting me a check for $4331.48, and I keep the car.

Not bad, since I will keep driving it, and eventually part it out this Spring.

Driving to the adjuster now, to get my check.
