2022 F44 Minor Sideswipe- Repair Questions
Hey Everybody so this young girl drifted in my lane while changing lanes a few days ago, I don’t have the Drive recorder but I have two dash cams lol
AnyWho, the damage was to the driver side front fender, headlight, and rim. My car is lease so I was worried about diminished value but after reading some caselaw here in California as long as the damage is fixed by a Bmw collision center or a BMW certified collision center I will not have any extra charges upon disposition. A few years ago there was a gentleman in California with a BMW that tried to sue the insurance company stating that the payments he was making is on a car that is now worth less but the court sided against him… However if I were to purchase my car, of which I do not intend to the value would be less. Can anyone provide any experiences they have had with damage similar to this, I do not want the bumper to be touched up, I want the whole bumper to be repainted. I have called a couple collision centers but have not gotten certainty about their repair standards. Paint is Skyscraper gray metallic. The at-fault party has good insurance,AAA. Please see pictures below and dash cam video link, thank you https://www.veed.io/view/1153c981-5e...8-b2bdf1fc446d Last edited by MugatuJag; 06-08-2022 at 04:38 PM.. |

I don't live in the US, but I'd use the official BMW repair recommendations. If they're BMW certified and do a poor job, there's always a complaint process. |

AAA appraisal $1666, BMW $5001 lmao
Nobody replied to this thread no big deal but I figured I would post the appraisal anyways just in case down the line someone had questions if they were in a similar situation, AAA actually did a visual inspection of my car and didn’t even include a new headlight which was irreparably damaged and swiftly issued me a check for less than a third of the true repair cost, shocking….
