e90 crashed :(

Well, last night my car was involved in a accident. The car was actually parked and someone in my apt complex lost control of his car in the parking lot and hitting my car pushing it past the parking median. I just got a check from his insurance company for 1550 for the damage. The rear bumper has to be replaced and the front appears that it could be repaired. Would it be cheaper just to get an aftermarket rear and front bumper or should I just go with an oem replacement?

well we could do a whole m3 style kit for below 1500

Last night and you got an estimate and a check today already?

06325iandR6 · 11-23-2009, 10:27 PM

yes, I thought it was odd. The crash happened last night and took the car to the adjuster, and handed me a check. I was wondering if it was too conservative of an estimate. Would that body kit be painted?

how much damage? my insurance adjusted for 1000$ just for damages/replacement of front bumper

JayKay335i · 11-24-2009, 12:18 AM

That sounds pretty conservative if you need anything less than just the bumper shell replaced and painted.

E92murdered · 11-24-2009, 01:44 AM

you can always go back to your adjuster you went to and show him estimates and get more money! def do that.

snipersix · 11-24-2009, 01:48 AM

id say go for an m3 style bodykit or an mtech bodykit.

ianbiz · 11-24-2009, 02:14 AM

headlights alone should be more than that

Andrew@ET · 11-24-2009, 02:45 AM

No not painted sorry. They took out your lights as well?

06325iandR6 · 11-24-2009, 07:59 AM

no headlight damage, just the rear bumper needs to replaced and there was minor front bumper damage that I believe could be repaired.

klipseracer · 11-24-2009, 12:10 PM

300$ for front bumper aprox + 900 for new rear oem bumper + 3-400 paint + labor + tell them you've suffered diminished value, lol.
