Here's my ballpark.

I don't know if ICBC gets discount on BMW parts, but most of the parts like you said can't get aftermarket.

Parts:
New curtains both sides - 10k
New drivers seat - 5k
New headlight - 9k
Bumper cover - 1k
Inner bumper and support - 1k
New fender - 800

Any other misc bits and bobs if we assume the cooling system is unaffected, we are close to 30k in just parts.

The front wheel looked like it was toed in when I was picking up our junk from the car today, looked like 3-5 degrees toed in. If it was a light thing it'll just be a tie rod. A friend said BMW procedure would be to replace the steering rack lol.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's gonna be 45-50k all said and done. Bodyshop friend and ICBC estimator I know both said most likely a write off.

Car market value is roughly 70k.
