Thanks! This one is a total loss as well. It has a salvage title so resale value will suck lol.

yup DIY as much as one can DIY
meaning Ill get the parts with patience and assemble everything but the body panels. Then have a very reputable professional who is a family friend line up the car to the last mm of perfection. As well as paint and color match with the rest of the car.
To give an idea just to line up the car (squaring up the front end by measuring reference points to make sure its exactly how it came from factory) And later line up the panels which will be aftermarket (m5 side fenders and bumper) which is almost impossible along with paint will be $2,200
OEM parts will be around 3500, that includes me being lucky finiding a headlight for 175 shipped. (vs 800-1200)
So long story short around $5500
Here is some advice for anyone buying a new hood, never buy an ebay hood, they weight around 75lbs (steel) vs oem around 25 lbs (aluminum) Got 2 ebay hoods that arrived bent. Ended up buying a oem M5 hood
