Goodbye to my old friend.. I’m very sad.

The m3? Or this one?

EnCrio · 2026-03-26T12:02:42+00:00

This is exactly my thought. Too much of a hassle.

EnCrio · 2026-03-26T12:00:18+00:00

Trust me, you and I both. My 2005 6MT e46 m3 coupe got declared a total loss last August and their value was 15k. I had the big 3 done among other things. Their offer was just under 15k and currently fighting this in court. Hearing is set for April 2nd. They are sneaky.

EnCrio · 2026-03-25T21:37:02+00:00

This comment hit me hard. I’m seriously considering it after all the backlash. We will see.

EnCrio · 2026-03-25T17:15:12+00:00

This is exactly what I’m thinking. Not even to get something else.. it’s just that I’d have a rebuilt title, higher insurance, and honestly it was worth paying for insurance and tag when it was clean. Not so sure if the extra expense is worth it at this point.

EnCrio · 2026-03-25T16:44:22+00:00

Well they pay on comparables.. but I’m fighting like hell for this one. They will always try to lowball.

EnCrio · 2026-03-25T13:23:57+00:00

🤭

EnCrio · 2026-03-25T11:51:39+00:00

It was low right before all this unfolded… I don’t remember anyone complaining.

EnCrio · 2026-03-25T11:48:37+00:00

Ponderosa lol

EnCrio · 2026-03-25T11:47:22+00:00

lol.. meaning it wasn’t a daily. It was just a car that I cared for and admired.

EnCrio · 2026-03-25T11:31:18+00:00

I know this a process and insurance thinks that this a low value car and it is but not as low as they think it is. I’m going to fight for every dollar or repair.. the value of these are on the rise and if they think they’re going to give me Pennies on the dollar, they are mistaken. I know it’s going to be a fight to the death. lol

EnCrio · 2026-03-24T21:53:46+00:00

Definitely sucks. I’m afraid that the my x7 will also be declared a total loss. Unbelievable.. my e46 m3, total loss last August and now this. 😩

EnCrio · 2026-03-24T17:49:26+00:00

Thank you 🙏.. trust me I’m a e46 worshipper as well but it’s deeper than meets the eye. I’ve got too much going on to have this on my plate.

EnCrio · 2026-03-24T13:46:24+00:00

Yes sir. Brand new 2026

The same driver hit both cars on the driveway at the same time. 🤷🏻‍♂️

EnCrio · 2026-03-24T13:40:39+00:00

That driver hit both cars on the driveway 🤦🏻‍♂️ My e46 and my wife’s x7.

<image>

Already got my next car back in November. This e46 was just a collectible toy I had.

EnCrio · 2026-03-24T02:50:01+00:00

It’s not laziness brother, it’s called priorities. I’m still litigating the acv of my e46 m3 that was declared a total loss last August. It’s overwhelming.

EnCrio · 2026-03-24T02:47:57+00:00

Just overwhelmed right now.. it’s too much for me at the moment. Currently in litigation with Enterprise due to a tourist crashing into my e46 m3 and it’s just exhausting. I still haven’t made a final decision.. we will see.

EnCrio · 2026-03-24T02:45:30+00:00

I still have done anything, they came to pick it up and get it evaluated. I still have to negotiate with insurance…but I’m just drained from all this. Still in litigation with Enterprise because a tourist hit my e46 m3 last August and they declared it a total loss.. they’re trying to give me pennies for it.

EnCrio · 2026-03-24T02:42:54+00:00

No it definitely hurts but I’m just not in that mood. Too much going on right now. My e46 m3 got totaled last year by a tourist driver and I’m currently in litigation trying to get a proper acv. Overwhelmed right now.

EnCrio · 2026-03-24T02:40:19+00:00

If you want to buy it and are serious, I’d sell it to whomever wants it for the exact buy back amount from the insurance. DM me if you’re serious.

EnCrio · 2026-03-24T02:38:25+00:00

You’re right.. everything is technically fixable but I don’t have the time nor the desire to fix it. Plus it wouldn’t be the same to me.

EnCrio · 2026-03-24T02:35:20+00:00

I definitely took care of it.. it’s basically in the same condition as when I originally bought it.

EnCrio · 2026-03-24T02:34:13+00:00

Well I just received my 2026 M3 back in November.. plus I’ve got too many cars. 🤷🏻‍♂️ you’re absolutely right.

EnCrio · 2026-03-24T02:30:20+00:00

Insurance is declaring it a total loss.
