I'd try paintless dent removal first! Glad you're OK.

 

Hope everything gets resolved to your satisfaction and you get your baby back soon.

It looks like it could buff out O.K., but I think your 50/50 weight dsitribution may be a little more like 65/35 now, so watch out for excessive oversteer.

 

I hate all white tail lights... too Japanese looking. Please replace the red lens for my sake.

 

Thanks guys for all your concerns/thoughts. I really appreciate it. I've just the last two days saying "it's just a car!" So, the car is at Classic BMW Collision Center in Richardson, Texas. Just waiting on the other guy's insurance to come look at it. I'm driving a sweet white Impala in the meanwhile. Question: How come every Chevrolet smells EXACTLY the same on the inside? Oh well, better than an Aveo. I'll keep everyone updated. Thanks again! PS, does anyone have an opinion on an accident attorney here in Dallas.

 

hah I've had issues with tow trucks before myself - someone hit my car when it was parked and it was not drivable. Next thing I know, the tower wants to just lift the front and tow it with the rears rolling. I'm like "not only is it a BMW, but it is AWD - there's no possible way you can do this!" He said "I've done this before and it wasn't a problem"... that's when I told him to get the **** away from my car and spent another hour finding a quasi-decent flatbed to tow my baby to the shop. I was more pissed at that tow truck dude than at whoever hit my car and ran away!

Anyway, I'm glad to see you're ok and that you're keeping those spirits high That's the attitude - no matter how hard you get knocked down, its all about how fast you get up

Now, get them M-techs on that car!

 

Reminds me of 1981 when I was rear-ended in downtown Chicago while driving my brand new Saab 900. I drove it back to South Dakota with the trunk bungie-corded. Saab had the best head rests back then, and I was so thankful.

Glad you're OK.

 

They better total out the car, because it will never drive the same. Sorry for the loss tho. Hope you cried.... For the back pain your gonna feel.lol

 

It will drive the same if its fixed by people who know what they're doing, man! Don't worry, OP - it'll drive the same. Just have to be sure that everything is fixed to OEM spec and that you test the car out. I've had a situation where my rear wheel was hit by someone in a snowstorm, while parked and I had the insurance pay for almost the entire rear end. But it drives just as well as better than before now

 

Yeah, they should all be tide up and thrown in the Trinity River. Kidding of course. The only guy I can think of is Jim S Adler "The Texas Hammer" and thats because of watching too much late night TV.

Glad to see your okay.
