What part of town was it stolen out of ? I assume you work in Fort Worth.

Yah. Stolen in the alliance area recovered in haltom city
How in the world did you find it?
The police called and said they found it
So the insurance has been a train wreck. Totally it pretty much immediately because campers and tires are expensive. They called and told me they would give me 4k and it was 1k for owner retention leaving me with 3k. Told them I wanted to dispute the valuation and they told me I had to hire an appraiser
I asked him why I have to pay out of pocket for them to do their job correctly and uphold their end of the contract, then I told him I'd send them comps showing their valuation is too low. I send over quite a few marketplace listings close to me in similar condition and mileage, they were all around 8k. Figured I could actually replace it for that, and the rehab would have to come out of my pocket.
His response was we couldn't use marketplace because private sellers can ask whatever they want, it has to be dealerships. I guess he doesn't understand dealerships can also ask whatever they want. So I sent him dealership listing of similar mileage and of course they were all significantly higher, so they changed the valuation to 14k and some change.
Well now it's not totalled (at least not yet) so the claim went back to body shop, which has also been a train wreck, but I don't have time to do it myself so that E36 M3s the insurances problem.
In better news I finally found the wheels I've been hunting forever.
They appear to be straight, they have some corrosion and a few scratches but they are nice enough to run on a daily. I need new hardware for the caps, a couple bolts are missing, and I think a cap or two is cracked. I'm gonna run them like this for now. Pops is getting his bumpers rechromed for the 57 and if the work ends up good and reasonably priced I'll considered having the wheels rechromed.
I'm just glad you got it back, I somehow missed that post.
14k , I can't imagine they will total it but if they do I'd imagine you'll get a nice pile of cash to fix it up with.
If somehow it gets worse and ends up being totalled, I will 100% buy it back and fix it, and probably have soe left over
If they still total it, I'll sell you my black 2wd for 8 after I get done putting the motor in. That'll leave you a nice pile in the bank
