whatever they offer you just say thats with me keeping the car right?

in all honesty after insurance money and a part out you should be able to get back into another S, help the community with rare parts, and make money on top!

just think

insurance will give you 15ish you can get the car back for 2 easy
insurance will give him 15k for an 03 ap1? say what? damn i want that insurance

I hope that it's not a total loss, and at least I am glad that you are unharmed.

It isn't just RWD and horsepower. I also have an E90 M3. It's RWD and has 414 HP. It has almost no tendency to snap oversteer (sometimes even displays a bit too much understeer). It is the design of the car-multiple variables, but not just a simple RWD/HP equation.
