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.

It was the 210, West of Sunland a couple of miles before the 118 transition...no work going on out there. dont know why a cone would be anywhere in the area...

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?

should have asked your dealer if any of the collision centers they work with may have one lying around. A bit of long shot, but you never know

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?
