I would guess $1,500.00-2,000.00 but our company only deals in fleets and few fleets have BMW's so I could be a little high. We just had a Ford that only the door was impacted and it was $600.00 when we sent it to a guy that I think gives us fairly good prices.

Ouch, sorry to see. I would also estimate that to be well over $1k. I had an estimate on my Focus not that long ago for a front door damage and it was $675. Either way I assume its his fault?

ya it was his fault although he was mad and told the cop that i hit him... the cop said how did he powerslide into you?!?! in a closed area no doubt! let me explain physics to you... your wrong. its your fault got it? lol

warning, im known to exagerate... but ya its his fault...

im still worried cuz my deductible is 1k so...:( if i have enough money to pay it he has to fix my car... im worried how much it will be... its a dent in the front door, and the bent in back door and the little area between the back door and the wheel...[?|] [B)]

From your pics it looks like 3 panels are damaged, the driver's door, left rear door, and then the rear side panel. Repairing all 3 panels would probably be $2-3K. My wife recently had an accident denting her Passat's front corner panel, it was $1K to fix, insurance paid. I would try to get his insurance to pay as it is not your fault.

you shouldn't have to pay anything. It comes out of his insurance, not yours so your deductible should never come into play. Even the cop seems to think it's entirely his fault. Powerslide... he he

This was $1850 when my e30 got hit last winter. Thankfully, the guy came back, and his insurance payed for it completely:





BTW, to post more than one pic, in the reply window, use "
" (without spaces) as many times as you need different pictures.

Sorry about your luck with the accident. I know what it feels like waiting to have a car fixed. [:(]

I wish a check ran into me. Preferably one made out to Cash and in the amount of $10,000,000,000 with enough funds behind it. Bill Gates, can you read this? [hihi]

My mother had similar damage on her C-class (but it was her fault, she hit one of those tubular guards at a gas station) It cost her around 2500.00. some people are oblivious when they drive, it sucks.
