Gashed the curb @45mph $6000 worth of damage?

djpeetur · 12-07-2008, 04:01 AM

took it to bmw collision and the adjust told me damages were over $6k, How can it be that much.

marty_mcfly · 12-07-2008, 04:10 AM

holy shit. those are authentic LMs too right?

veightkiller · 12-07-2008, 04:11 AM

6g's? all i see is you need 2 new wheels i don't know about the suspension though, sorry to see that and goodluck

Crazy Bimmer · 12-07-2008, 04:15 AM

Should have asked the adjuster since he actually looked under it.

Cant tell much from the pictures beside you needing new wheels.

How did you hit both wheels but not the side skirt?

Damn that really sucks !!

djpeetur · 12-07-2008, 04:22 AM

i quicky turn the right to avoid going over the hump, i scratch my lip and fender like 1 inch scratch but both my rims went busto. I guess the rims took the brunt of it. He said something about suspension but insurance is taking care of it minus deductible. but still i thinik $6000 is alot

Those rims weigh less than the tires mounted on them.

I didnt even know rims could get that light.

tjnptel1 · 12-07-2008, 08:37 AM

I stand corrected, the LMs are 1,200 a wheel on TireRack.

this happened to someone i know not too long ago. There was no visible body damage such as sideskirts/bumper etc. but underneath the car was a different story. Your control arms are definitely bent and there could be sub frame damage as well as suspension damage.

veightkiller · 12-07-2008, 10:52 AM

are those even real LM's looks like replica to me. yeah i guess 6g's is too much but if your wheels are the real deal then 6g's would be enough i guess.

Prissy · 12-07-2008, 11:46 AM

+1 they look reps

LOLrance · 12-07-2008, 12:07 PM

They aren't real LM's.

Maybe the adjuster assumed they were real. I could see replacing 2 real LM's plus a few suspension components you might have damaged costing about 6k.

Turkishexpress · 12-07-2008, 12:10 PM

Expensive rims, performance tires, suspension on a BMW = 6K easy. Good luck. You might make out with some money for some other mods if you get a check from the insurance company and source the parts and labor yourself

to_riffic · 12-07-2008, 12:47 PM

my god thats insane!

djpeetur · 12-07-2008, 01:46 PM

There reps but I rather let Bmw fix it for piece of mind. The wheeel are 500 with tiress if that. Makes a diff

clivem2 · 12-07-2008, 02:12 PM

I'm not sure why you're surprised. Sure the wheels are expensive but it looks like the curb was hit hard and at 45mph there's a lot of energy to absorb.

darkphantom · 12-07-2008, 02:15 PM

wow, sorry dude. good luck!
