I've totalled cars, blown stock and built engines, so I understand...sorry, bro. I can't find pics but hopefully there's items you can salvage to go for M5 #3 :-)
On a happier note...how's the Quickjack working out :-) |

But look into options on salvaging what you can vs. rebuilding ground up. My plan in the event of catastrophe would be: HIGH milage 2013 in good running condition, get the parts swapped/ redone... You have a built car, its like I always tell the stock motor turbo gtr guys doesn't matter if theres 10k miles on the shell or 100k if its running and good enough to be built / swap who cares. I'm sure its a majjjjjor setback, but when all the costs are considered + insurance check it might not be as catastrophic as you think. |

I did think it was April fools joke given the timing but man I'm sorry. I always looked to you carrying this platform forward but completely understand if it's time to move on. |

If you know for sure the cause of failure, and the motor is still good.....maybe. Otherwise move onto something better/different. Although your knowledge and expertise with this platform is a definite plus to starting over.

A Third Phoenix?
Just an opinion and it is based on my personal life experiences with cars - You are on the leading edge of experience and knowledge of a platform that many people that don't own drool over. If we were voting, I would definitely vote for you sticking with the platform. I have never in my life kept any of my previous muscle cars or Euro cars longer than two years before I sold them and got something else. I have had my M since new and it was the first new one in my area. It still makes me feel the same way since the day I bought it and I don't ever plan on getting rid of it. Just trying to make it better for me.

Motor appears fine and has nothing to do with the fire.
