Update on the 540i situation.
I explained everything here https://www.reddit.com/r/e39/s/1Ny05PmK15.
But basically ive got Good news, Ive decided Im going to fix it.
We went to see the car in person with a mechanic who specializes in crashed cars. (as ive answered to some of you.) We spent a good amount of time looking everything over. After seeing it properly, he agreed that it's definitely repairable.
He is fully booked at the moment, but around mid-September he will be free, and thats when we're planning to start working on it. If everything goes according to plan, my goal is to have the car back on the road before December.
Thanks to everyone who commented and gave advice on my original post. I'll keep updating the progress as the rebuild goes on. Hopefully ill be posting pictures of it running again in a few months.
