I would imagine a ton more, beccause you need the side sills, rear bumper, and decklid lip spoiler....I paid $625 to replace just a foglight, plastic insert, and temperature sensor mount.

Get the car fixed with the insurance money and then trade-in the miserable 320 for an AMG, that will make you the happiest.

def put the sport on. IMO putting the e63 front end on a non-amg is borderline posing (if not all out posing), but putting the sport front end on your car would be "updating" the look.

For $3K+ on front-fascia work alone, you may want to consider a new car, like a E55 or E63. 3K is a decent downpayment on a 2-3yr old 211 AMG. Forget the diesel; go for displacement.

Definitely do not do it! Keep it stock or at the most the sport bumper but not the AMG bumper... There are enough posers with/without badges as it is!

If you're going to keep the car forever, then do whatever you want. But it'll hurt resale down the road. Nobody wants a Frankenstein. Esp the kind of person looking to buy a CDI.
