Drivers Side Mirror Ripped Off!!!

TagUrIt · 09-06-2007, 07:31 PM

Hey guys. I was driving earlier and this idiot didnt see me switching lanes and made me swerve into what i think was a mile marker sign?? Anyway doing about 80-85 ripped off my fccckkkin mirror. The mirror must of hit the door handle and jammed it somehow so now the door doesnt even open. Few minor scatches on the drivers side door also (this all happened in a split second). Im bringing it in tomorrow, im wondering if i should get a whole new drivers side door and mirror? Or just let them repair the mirror, minor scratches, and door handle individually? Also any idea how much this going to run me? Sorry no pics my cam phone suckss. Any comments are apprecciated.

RiXst3r · 09-06-2007, 08:16 PM

probably cost ya over a grand when its all said and done... these mirrors arent cheap... did you have premium package?

hool97 · 09-06-2007, 10:37 PM

Sh*t I am sorry to here that. It seems strange that the door won't open though. Will it unlock , does it have power?

Sorry to hear that.

GreddyBoy858 · 09-07-2007, 10:08 AM

Well I just got a quote from a high end body shop in SD for a nice key mark someone so graciously left me one night.. $1652.25.. So I am sure yours is atleast the same amount of work...

Bimmer335i · 09-07-2007, 10:19 AM

Sorry to hear this, bro. Boy, not a banner week fro BMWs. I had my car hit and run on Sunday at a grocery parking lot. My fellow co-worker's 7-series got ding hard on the driver side door by another car opening its door...

DAMN!! Those pictures make my stomach hurt.. haha

TagUrIt · 09-07-2007, 07:38 PM

:mad::mad::mad::mad:So i just spent all day trying to get this s*hit worked out and BMW gave me an estimate of $$3600.00!! CRAZY!!....I go to Geico and the adjuster says that the damage all in all is about $1700, significantly less than what BMW said. WHAT SHOULD I DO?? I wish i had some pics but unlike the pics of the e46 above my complete sideview mirror ripped off and it somehow hit the door handle and now the door will not open AT ALL... so now i have to climb over the console to the passenger side to get in /out.....what a pain the the assssssss. Anyway i just wanted some opinions on what i can do about the $2000 or so difference from BMW & Geico. :mad::mad::mad:

cn555ic · 09-07-2007, 07:57 PM

you want Bmw to repair it then tell geico to speak to the BMW service shop...You are entitled to bring your car any where you want to repair the damage...The adjuster will speak with the person in charge of the repair shop and they will justify why it would cost them 3600 to repair the car...Insurance should take care of what ever it costs to fix minus obviously your deductible!!!
