Sorry to hear about that. I had a similar situation a few years ago with my 325Ci. It seemed like every six months when I had to drive this particular stretch of highway (70) to go to my dentist, something would hit my car. Once, a cardboard box blew from under the car in front of me and lodged under my spoiler, totally scratching it. Another time, some truck threw up a rock that chipped my roof, etc. and so forth. It was like a curse. Solution: I switched to a dentist down the street. Good luck with your repairs. If you can't avoid the route, then maybe a rental next time?

What freeway were you on? On the 210 it always seems like there is a ladder loose in the Carpool lane. I hit what appeared to be a heavy semi-truck wheel core a couple years ago that high-centered my front wheels and damaged all sorts of stuff underneath.

Jcool - thanks for the offer, but I did speak with my dealer again and unfortunately, your bumper cover is not going to fit. I have the PDC and cold weather package (headlight washers) and he said it needs to be a bumper cover specifically for a car with those options.
Anyone else have an LCI front bumper fascia (cover) with the PDC and washer system they want to part with?

Ouch - You seem to have the same kind o fluck as I do . I guess the only way to remove that would be by hand scraping it off. The lighter areas might come off with soft scrub?
