****ed!! Or maybe not.
Collision with my 325i 4dr sedan 1993. Is this repairable or pointless to try and fix? Scraps against tire.

That, unfortunately, isn't in an "unbolt and replace" area. It's going to take LOTS of very tedious body work to make that right. I'll be surprised if it isn't totaled by the insurance company.

i agree. that's quite a few hours there to fix properly. door skin and door handle, striker panel, 1/4 panel, bumper cover, bumper, light and whatever else may be under the rear corner there. most likely going to be totaled.
however, that does not mean that you cannot get it fixed. it's just a matter of how/where and how much you are willing to spend doing so. see what the insurance company says and go from there. df

The insurance company will total it absolutely no doubt about that. As to whether you want you bother repairing it, that's your call.

So you all really dont think its as simple as getting another door, a new bumper cover, and gettin it slightly pulled out until i can get the body work done?

Definatly not.
You have MAJOR body areas there that are not in tact anymore. I wouldnt risk it at all, count your losses and move on.

We were pulling your leg because you posed one of the most vague and useless questions one could ever come up with, which basically boiled down to: "crashed car. Should I fix it?" Well sure, you can bolt on a new door and pull the body panels out with a pry-bar so it doesn't rub and is road worthy, but it's still going to look terrible. If you want it to be fixed properly it's going to cost many thousands to repair.
