Can your insurance come into play if the car is now "totaled" due to the cost?

$30k is over half the value of my M6...
As far as I know insurance (Geico for me) will only total the car if there is outside influence on the engine going bad - i.e. something in the road hit the underside and caused oil to leak out and your engine seizes. They won't cover internal mechanical damage since that should be covered by a warranty as far as the insurance company is concerned. I have not however reached out to them to confirm - this is just what I've heard so far. If the BMW NA thing goes nowhere I will give that a shot but I'm not getting my hopes up on that.
