Dead M5 and near dead driver - questions about the aftermath

["Shah, Anand" <anand.shah@xxxxxxxxx>]

Well - my E28 M5 is totalled, and I am extremely fortunate to not also 
be totalled.  A pretty unfortunate series of events - I can say that 
this type of driver error has never happened to me before; my foot 
simply slipped of the brake pedal going into a turn.  Next of course the 
tail came out and I turned into it in a futile attempt to straighten out 
the car.  Running quickly out of road the car slammed into the curb and 
somehow flipped - end of story and car.  Never again do I want 
experience the feeling of hanging upside down in a seat.

It is heartbreaking to lose this car, but I guess these things happen 
and I am lucky to have walked away.  Anyway, how do I proceed from here 
with respect to the car itself.  I have quite a few almost new parts on 
it - shocks/springs/exhaust etc.  Do I negotiate with the insurance 
company on getting these things off, or do they keep the whole car?  
Also what about parting things out like the engine, which certainly 
should still be in excellent condition.

Thanks,
Anand
