Default How bad does this look guys?

I have full coverage, just wanted to know if there is anything that I should have them look at to make sure nothing goes wrong in the long run from this... I find out Monday if its totaled dont think it should be the air bags didnt go off or anthing.

doesn't look that bad- i mean you need the obvious -hood, fender, bumper- but very hard to tell from the pic how far everything moved back and what else is damaged, but I would not say it's totaled.

From my experiance with insurance companies, I would expect them to "total" it. As it IS a ten year old car, if they will offer you more than $3000 for it, I would be surprised. (Unles you have AGREED VALUE insurance -- not likely.) Sorry, it looks like it was a nice car. (and could be again.)

The only good news is that you should be able to buy it back from them (cheap) and fix it.

Default about $ 10K

I did that exact damage to an M3 about 2 years ago and it cost $10K to repair. If the estimate is within about 75% of the car's value they will total it

Agree, I had this damage done to my previous car, over $9k in repairs, but at the time, they did not total it, since this was over 5 years ago when the car was worth more...
