    mf cut me off and i didnt hit the brakes in time
    my car is f***ed cosmetically but the inside is even worse
    car started leaking and tried driving home but car overheated and got into the red line multiple times
    looked inside and the radiator is definitely needed but did i do any damage to the engine?
    i don’t know a whole lot about cars but my e39 has only 50k miles on it and hopefully lots of life left

    First off, WHY WOULD YOU DRIVE AN OVERHEATING CAR?

    Why would you drive a car leaking coolant

    You just killed your engine.

    Towing the car to a body shop would of solved the problem, but now your car is worthless

    What goes through your head to do something like that?

    You probably blew the head gasket at best, a worse possibility is a warped head, and an even worse situation is a warped and cracked head.

    Your cylinder head has to be warped, your car is done.

    Have insurance deal with it, most likely it'll be counted as totaled but driving your car might give you some issues with them and you could have cause more damage to the car. If your cars ever f***ed like that you gotta just get it towed

    what’s worse to you, this, or if you saw someone take a perfectly good pizza out the oven then take it outside and throws it in the mud ?

    Op all you need is blinker fluid, a back left chassis replacement, and maybe a new right strut

    Should cost about $800

    Best thing to keep in mind is that you're safe!!

    Frame could possibly be bent as well

    Low speed impacts can bend frames and easily total a car

    Naw, no way his frame is bent on such a minor impact, plus if it was they can straighten it
