Squashed my mt e39 on the commute home yesterday. Drivetrain is still fine. Thinking of finding a decent auto e39 wagon and swapping in the bigger engine and 5 spd... or challenge donor...

Ouch, sorry to hear that. 
Too bad you don't live closer. I have a clean E39 with a dead engine sitting in my garage.
Where was the accident? I think I heard about it on WGN
Awww that sucks. At least you're already past the grieving stage and into.. The zombie stage? Or I guess it would be Frankenstein. Erm I guess he was a zombie too.
Yeah, dude. What happened? You're OK, right?
Everyone OK?
You all right? That was a cool old car, but it sounds like you're already looking to the future. Sorry to hear about it.
First boo boo in 30 years. Sweeping intersection with a merge lane. Guy in front started around the curve into the merge lane. I did a shoulder check since I thought he moved on. Turns out he stopped in the merge lane. After shoulder check, had a windscreen full of jeep. Went for evasive action to go around and didn't quite make it. His looked fairly minor. Crushed the right front, hood and fender crumple zone. I've calculated about $2k in parts to fix, so I think I'm moving on.
As long as you're okay... Project time!
Buy that sucker back. I think I remember when you got that off eBay....cool wagon.
