I completely expect this car to hit the salvage market.
If anything, someone will get a hold of a base model and transfer all the go fast parts (including VIN tag) or they could really hack it and repair what is there. I have seen worse fixed that is for sure.
watch the salvage auctions, it’ll turn up.
My 98 BMW 323i is the benefactor of an M3 salvage transplant. I paid £600 for the 323, straight body no rust.
Paid £700 for a salvage M3 sedan. 2 weeks after work every night in a bay at work, transferred power train and suspension parts from M3 to 323, and I have an M3 at 1/4 of the insurance rate, and the ultimate sleeper.
As a bonus, sold the M3 chassis and leftover 323 parts for salvage, got £400 for it. So I have a £900 BMW M3
