Sad to see this water damaged M2 CS at Copart Germany. Wondering if it will be saved as the repair estimate is EUR96k.

The car sill looks awesome until you see the interior. I wonder if the motor is OK?

That car is toast, only worth it as a parts car.

Yep. Looks like a total loss and salvage.

I wonder if a BMW tech could buy it for pennies and bring it back to new.

I just wouldn't trust it. Modern eco-friendly plastics don't survive such a thing very well. Mold loves it. You'd have to gut the entire interior. Might be fine as a race car.

Did they drive that thing into a river? Insurance fraud?

Given that the repair cost is greater than the pre-damage value its safe to say its history.
Not a lot would be salvagable imo.

Yeah. You could salvage off the CS specific exterior parts. Roof has to be destroyed to get off. Engine might be fine. However, there's nothing special about the CS engine outside of the tune. If you could get it for basically the cost of the hood it might be worth buying since you could quick flip the hood.

Major is an understatement. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...WVhOXNMVwZyM36

Presume you all know Copart generally only sells insurance salvage. Cost to repair + salvage value is within 70% +/- of the value.

If it wasn't running when water came into it, engine MIGHT be fine. Electronics is a question.

Sad to see. Looked okay from the outside and then the interior tells the truth.

I'd say it probably touched the headliner too based on the "water line" mark from insurance (VV _______)

This is what I was thinking. Even then, I doubt the motor is OK without a rebuild. Looks like a full submersion in filthy water.

If it runs it would make a great track car. Gut the interior, cage and racing seat?

Thanks for sharing. They are planning to make a series of episodes on the rebuild. My understanding is that this is going to be their first flood damaged car project.

In this first episode they picked up the car from Copart Germany and noticed that there is water in the interior (cupholders, carpets) and the headlights look worse than on the photos.
