Sorry to hear this. As I said on one or more other recent "totaled" threads/posts, NEVER take their first offer, ever.
Can you blame them for comparing to cheaper, less optioned (and possibly maintained) cars? They get bonuses based on how LITTLE they pay out. Think about it.
Hope you were able to increase the payout. I'd love to have a copy Roverts info handy just incase that ever happens to my car.

I went through this a year+ ago with my totaled ZHP.
1) Do not take first offer.
2) Get copies of all funds spent on car since purchased. My experience is that the adjuster DOES take this into account. They will not pay you dollar for dollar but they take this info into account. Example - I had just replaced brakes and had copies of parts costs - they gave me that.
3) The adjuster will just search for XXXX year BMW 3 series and will use stripped 325s in comparison. Go on Autotrader, etc and pull ads for cars as close to yours as possible.
4) Using that above, I got a very fair payout on my totaled 2005 330Ci ZHP M6 AW Coupe (RIP)

Sorry to hear the car is totaled but happy hear that everyone is okay. Let me know if you need a hand with anything, whether is wrenching, insurance troubles, or someone to drive you to get another car. I'm always willing to help.
Also, see if you can get a buy back price on the car. I'd be interested!

Guys, an update. Finally settled with the insurance company this morning. I refused the first offer of 7k and it's been upgraded now to just over 9k. I'm happy with that with mileage, etc. So now I'm searching for another ZHP in the following thread:

Wyatt, appreciate it buddy. I'm going to ask them the buy back but I'm afraid it will be more than it's work (thinking it'll be 3k) I'll make sure to update this thread with that info.

Good news

Congratulations on getting a fair value for your car. I've got several friends going through the same thing as we recently had some flash flooding that totaled A LOT of cars. Last count I heard was 38 BMW's alone...I also saw first hand some extremely high end cars under water, it was a sad sad day. Working at a shop I've been dealing with the insurance companies a lot and with enough perseverance and research on your end it is definitely possible for anyone to do as you did to increase the value of your loss. Best of look finding a replacement ZHP!
