Yesterday, just a moment after I got out of my car, some guy came whipping through the parking lot and smashed right into it. He clearly wasn't looking where he was going, was driving too fast through the parking lot as he came around a bend, and crashed right into my left rear quarter panel so...

So I slid straight into a curb sideways, snapped NSR rear trailing arm, upper control arm, driveshaft, and bent camber arm.. I've definitely bent the frame where the trailing arm connects as you can see a kink in the rear quarter, any idea if the frame is repairable? Also the rear subframe...

I work as a valet at a BMW dealership in Atlanta. Someone recently hit me at a parking garage as I was pulling out of my spot after I was leaving when my shift ended. In the pictures attached, he came around that corner going 15-20mph and turned right into my car. What makes it even worse is...

Hello all, I was driving home the other night, when 2 Hondas wanted to race. Knowing that I've easily beaten SI's before, I ignored the temptation to race. I was then cut off and brake checked causing me to slam on my brakes and swerve to the right, causing me to hit a curb. I cracked and popped...

I stopped, the driver behind me didn't notice. Took the hat right off my head, and the whole thing occured right in front of the police station. My rear bumper obviously needs to be replaced, but what else should I have my mechanic look at specifically? Sub frame, and...? How much does it...

Hello E46Fanatics, This morning, while on a very nice and mellow drive, some idiot in an SUV decides to take the same exit I am taking last minute, and sends me into a hard left causing me to essentially drive directly over a curb going close to 75 mph. Once I hit the curb and the car danced...

Hey guys, my coupe just got rear-ended... while it was parked. :bawling: Anyways, I'm at work right now, but before I go out and get some estimates and everything, I just wanted a general idea, from e46 owners, of how much this is going to cost. Whoever hit me dipped right after, so I have no...

Basically someone back into me as my car was at a complete stop in a parking lot. My bumper and the part where my blinker is suffered some damage. Because I'm not at fault and the other persons insurance will cover damages, should I take my car to BMW (stealership) to fix or a body shop that...

So today I was driving from San Diego to Orange County. Right about San Clemente I felt very sleepy. I've been dozing off here and there for a few seconds. Then the next thing I know I just hit an armored van. It was a BRINKS van. The image on my mind was that I just ruined the front/right...

I came across a "sandwich" accident this morning on the way to work and they couldn't move the 325i out of the single lane. I don't know the whole story but saw the cop and (female) driver try to put it in gear and start it and what not. I was offering some help since I almost redid everything...

Hey guys, I come to you for advice. My accident is best explained with the diagram, so please view those before answering my question. A simple summary of the accident is that I was traveling at 30 mph on a two laned road changing to include a left turn lane. I didn't need to turn left so I kept...

Some idiot texting rear-ended me this morning :banghead: The front also has damage because he drove me into the car in front of me. :tsk: Babys at the collision shop right now and I'm waiting on a phone call I was trying to sell her to pick up a new car after Christmas, maybe i'll have to...

Hey guys, this is such an unfortunate first post :cry:. Bought a 318i two weeks ago, was very pleased with my purchase, I worked hard for it, had plans towards making it clean. Didn't get any insurance right away - a big mistake. I street parked it when I visited a friend last Saturday night...

So last week, someone brilliant came to visit the family from about a state away, this brilliant person is a self-titled "Mercedes expert" but has recently switched over to BMW, so he has a BMW-specific carputer he wanted to show me. "let's go check your codes" he says, I was quickly lured in...

I live north of Boston. It rained biblically up here over the weekend 4 full days of the heaviest rain and winds I had ever seen up here. On my way into work Monday morning I was cruising in the fast lane (approx 60mph) on 128 south just passed the North Shore Mall and *SLAM* I nailed a...

This is what happens when a BMW meets a tree. I tried to avoid someone who lost control and smoked a tree. $13,000.00 in damages so its a total loss. I'll miss her. Btw my v710s are now up for sale cause I bought a Corvette. Rims only have like a 6-700 kms on them. Pretty much new.

ok so heres the deal. I was turning left from a stop to go to the other side of a median and my 99 323i started to hydroplane, i tried to turn left to get into the left lane. i turned too much and my car did a 180 smashing the left rear wheel into the curb, making my wheel tilt to about a 60...

So i bought a 1999 323i with SP from a friend 2 days ago. solid low milage car. anyway, he got into a small accident some time ago, and there is a 2 inch crease dent below the left tailight. This doesnt really bother me. However this also caused the rear bumper to move a bit so on the left side...
