I crashed my e92 335i into a curb drifting and the side airbags went off
I know....
Anyways, most of the damage is underbody.
I was wondering what these black lines and gray hose under the car are? Fuel lines? Brake lines?
They're scraped pretty badly.

They might be for the Evaporation system.

IIRC all the plastic lines are fuel/evap related. The brake lines will be metal.

1 white is the evap hose (vents fuel smell to intake)

1 black is the fuel line

2 thinner black (metal) are the rear brake lines.

the other side of the car has the (+) power lines from battery to starter + DME box. inspect the jacket of those 2 wires(red) extremely well if that side also got scraped.

Thank you. I did a better inspection under the car and this is true. The evap hose was sticking out and i was able to push it back up so I believe that it got disconnected from somewhere up there.

The two scraped ones are indeed brake lines.

Yes I saw that today while under the car. Luckily nothing on that side of the car got touched. I wouldve killed myself if electricals got touched haha

the fuel line + evap line connection point is just to the left of the brake fluid area where the steering columb/shaft comes out of cabin.

i have my entire car gutted and opened up, incase later you need refference for a certain area, let me know and i can take pic for you.

in one of your pics, there is a bolt that looks like it bent the entire mount point, hopefully not for subframe.

Thank you, and I believe that bolt was for the gas tank.

For anyone wondering, I cut and replaced the sections of the torn EVAP hose with regular engine hose and it fixed all the evap leaks

hey man something similar happened to mine but not as bad. I was curious what the repair cost was and what you had to do to get it fixed. Please and thank you

Hey, welcome to the curb club. I still own the car, the spec was too good to get rid of. I never told insurance or the cops when it happened. On paper, it's still a clean title but the frame is shifted kinda. I never had the frame repaired. The total cost was around $2000 but a lot of that was due to the fact I was running KW coilovers and had to get a replacement driver strut sent from Germany and BBS rep I had to reorder and powerdercoat.
I drive the car very hard, fast, been to many canyon runs since and no issues.

I had to replace the headliner, roof airbag, seat airbag, have the seat restitched, replace the side skirt, replace the fuse wire on the battery that pops in an accident, replace the cracked wheel, replace underbody shielding, repair the broken evap line, power steering pully (the plastic one broke on impact), accessory belt (it ripped when the pully cracked), passenger engine mount (broke on impact), driver side lower control arm.

I got the replacement headliner and airbags from the junkyard for cheap.
Most annoying part was drilling out the roof airbag and riveting in the new one and slowly hammering & prying the metal for the underbody brace that got pushed over covering the bolt.
