I can't believe this. I just bought my car, a 1995 525i, a month ago. It's only got 88.6 thousand miles... It's my first Bimmer, and I love the car.

A week ago I was caught out in a hail storm. It didn't break any windows, but theres dents all over the hood, roof, and decklid. I was really upset - this thing is my baby - and I had just dropped about $1,500 in getting the car the way I like it.

I took it in to let the insurance adjuster look at it - and they want to toal it out. I am really pissed. I just want my damn car fixed.

My question is: Do you guys have salvage titles? Have you successfully converted it from a salvage title back to a regular title? Or, should I just cut my losses and get a new car?

I don't have the figures yet on how much they'll offer me, or how much it would cost to buy it back from them. I'm supposed to know by the end of the week.
