yeah, I scraped my bumper only 4 days after ED pick-up when we were in Paris, and man was I sick about it. I had to have the entire bumper removed and repainted in order to put it back. aaarrrghh!!!!!
I feel much happier now that it is fixed

Has anyone with the 18" Dunlop run flats or any other run flats curbed the stock BMW wheels yet? I have hit curbs that would have done a number on the deep dish wheels of my 540-6 that didn't even buff the tire of the 124 wheel. I think a lot of the curb rash is happening to the wheel mods for 19-20" wheels.

Oh well, I figure now I won't worry so much when I let others drive the car! I also figure I'll do it again a few times so I'm not hurrying to get anything fixed just yet.

I guess I am just darned lucky, so far. But, then I haven't been crowded by another car as you were. I have actually been cruising along at around 50 mph and gotten a bit close to the curb and had it move me back on line -- all with no curb rash.
As a side note, one thing that I am amazed at is the precision of knowing where the curb is, on both sides. In long curves to the left, I keep getting closer and closer to the inside because I can sense exactly where the curb is.
