. . . while leaving rather quickly from my dentist's office.
The scratches on the 545's rear bumper are like scars seared into my very soul.
I usually sell a car after it receives the first scratch(s), but I think I'll actually keep this one.
$28.00 for the dentist visit; $496.00 for the BMW body shop work. Maybe I can have the boys in service install this week's (evenflow falls off chair, laughing) latest software update while I'm there?

I know how you feel about that bumper scratch. I haven't scratched a car in many, many years until this 530. It was only 4 days after ED pick-up from Munich that we had the car in Paris where I scraped the front bumper against a ridiculously tall curb. It only last month got repaired and now I feel much better. It was gnawing at me from the moment I noticed the scrape.

. most of the medical insurance plans include regular clean up twice a year. anyway, evenflow545, sorry to hear this tragedy but if you got the number from the receptionist at the dentist office, it's worth it

Ouch, what hurt more the bumper damage or the fact it was a BOTTLED WATER TRUCK. Talk about adding insult to injury. I got the idea you were not to be found anywhere near BOTTLED WATER! Sorry to hear about your scar. I got mine with valet parking at $$$ hotel. Lets just say we traded scars.

Went out a few nights ago to move my car away from the underground sprinklers, because of potential water spotting, and I backed it into my wifes Grand Cherokee.
No water spots but dented bumper. A little ironic.
