It is stressfull in the street of Hongkong. I could not imagine how you could even drive those monster 550i around town . Not only the lane are tiny and the fact there are lots of car in hongkong, but also you have massive pedestrians.

Maybe this incident tells you to sealed the rear bumper reflector 'holes' when doing repaint

Not, just scraped the paint off. Not major damage. Just a hassle!

When the world gives you a lemon.. make lemonade?

Or maybe he didn't see you because you covered up the red reflectors.. anyways the accidents are getting more minor -that's an positive trend, right?

Don't think so. The guy said that he was picking up something he dropped on the floor and didn't see me. Idiot! Who in the world would do when you are merging into traffic..........

Good news mlai, nowadays shop can touch up minor paint scratches and you can never noticed the repainted part. Has that idiot paid for your repair?

No way! For a minor scratch, going to the dealer is way over kill not only because of costs, but also bmwhk will likely take everything apart, re-inspect, bake, paint, mandatory dry overnight to a day.... etc. Takes 3-4 days to complete the tiny repaint of the scratch compared to 1/2 half.

Got it done at WK.

They don't have to repaint the whole part?
They already have your paint at hand? Did order it when they know what color car you are getting... sorry

I thought you are gonna claim everything to that dude who scratched you car so BMW might do a better job even though the time, price and etc. Should claim him for a loaner car too. Hehe.

Anyway it's good that you fixed it and good as new.

BMW/Benz paints are pretty well available. I asked BMW service and my sales. They said that while the shortage may affect new car color availability, BMW Service still have stock piles of sophisto gray for repair use........ So there really is no issue getting the paint.

But less popular colours, however, are more difficult to find paint......
