well the IS has the highest safety rating in its class.... not thinking about the 335i?

You know, I never thought about that, but I'm not sure I would want to drive the same car after an accident that bad either. Every time you step in the car, you have to wonder if you'll have memories of that accident. Thankfully there wasn't a great deal of bodily harm.

I'd have the opposite reaction. It's unclear if the other cars would have caused him more or less injury. The IS is a known quantity, and as long as the OP was "satisfied" with the outcome of the collision, it should make him more loyal knowing it can take a licking and keep on ticking.

well they said its a total loss then in about less then a week you get a check or maybe overnight when you sign your car off to them so they can sell it at auctions for junkyard. Make sure you don't get shorthand on your aftermaket parts. They will most likely underestimate it. If you have receipts of purchases this makes it easier and also any work done within 3 months gets credit for you so find them receipts.

if you have any questions about the G37 feel free to ask me.

First off, I'm glad your OK. Second, I'm glad that the IS is a car that can be totaled and still walk away from it. I'll tell you what, If I get in a wreck that bad I sure hope I'm as lucky as you.

I would say go for the BMW 335i or the IS350. If the choice was between the 328i and the 350 go for the IS. I know the 335i is more expensive but way better over the 328i. The G37 looks like it is too high off the ground stock, I have yet to see one with a drop or a body kit that makes it look better. But the sedan looks way better!

thanks God you are OK. Now erase those bad memories and get into the happy part (for us...auto-philes!!) find the new ride....
I would go for a change and try out the G37....keep us updated!!

Personally, I think some (if not most) of what a chiropractor promises is quack, but after an incident like that, it may be a good idea to go see one. A big chunk of a chiroquack's business is "treatment" of accident victims. They're tuned more to "quality of life" issues than, for example, an emergency room that may not care as much as long as the limbs aren't about to fall off. It never hurts to document a list of hurts so you can get compensated if the Pathfinder's insurance comes through (if the car's not stolen, that is). If not, you can always claim against your own uninsured driver coverage.

So did they find the owner or the punks of the Pathfinder? Glad you're not seriously injured. Sorry about your car. IS350 FTW!

Glad to hear you're ok. For what it's worth. Back in 2006 I was in an accident in my 02' IS300 (RIP). Walked away without a scratch. About a month later... I ended up with an 06' IS350. Great car! But, last November we added a 335 convertible to the family and it's a whole different animal. As Gr8Dane stated 328 vs IS350 I would lean more towards the IS...unless the 335 is in the running (LOL). Keep us updated.
