2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter.
Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.
Make believe you had you car and do what you would have done if it had been your car and not the loaner. Do the right thing........

I am an honest and ethical person in everything i do in life, i may not always get what i want because of it, but i SLEEP GREAT at night and NEVER have to watch my back. I have no enemies and nothing to hide. no stress, and ultimately, I am a happy person that is respected by my freinds and family.

this is like the bag of money thread, where i said i would return in, and i got crap for it. i would be honest with the BMW dealer.

How much do you value other people's respect?
The reason you're in this position is because whoever hit you didn't own up to it...so you can surely see it from the other perspective.
Just own up. Maybe it will turn out better than you think....GL

Its not worth the few hundred bucks to lose your self-respect and dignity. In fact, I've always been pleasantly surprised when I did the right thing thinking it would cost me, ie, your SA may have people there who can buff out the damage or repair it with little cost to you. Either way, karma can be a good thing or bad thing my friend...you decide

Being ethical is NOT cheap, that's why so few truly are!!
