That is not as bad as I thought. I think PDC would have picked it up. PDC picks up the large rocks in my parking area that are a little lower than the PDC sensors. I hope it isn't to hard and ling to fix.

Here's the estimate:
Replace Bumper cover W/O PDC $329.00
Replace Trunk Lid $414.00
Replace Nameplate (545) $26.00
Replace Emblem (BMW) $14.00
-Add Labor and Paint-
Body Labor 8.1 hrs @ $38.00
Paint Labor 19.1 hrs @ $38.00
Paint Supplies $401.10
Body supplies $ 25.55
Misc. $174.00
Grand Total with tax $2480.00
Fix Divot on front hood $85.00
Now how much was the PDC option.........they should have a dumb ass smily!
P.S. I'm keeping the 545 emblem and Roundel, any suggestions for their future use, besides a coaster.

Belt buckle?
Big ass keychain?
Add to a name plate if you have a desk at the office?
Door knob cap?
Ornament over the rearview mirror?
Light switch cover?
Toilet seat emblem?
Computer emblem?
Necklace?

Ouch! That hurts just to look at. How fast did you say you were going?
I can't get over the expense of fixing these "minor" mishaps. Heaven help us if we really damage one of these things in two or three years -- totaled for sure.

Problem with PDC is it only does the front and back - not the sides! My recent experience with a rock happened on the side, so my PDC never detected it.
I share your pain with the cost to fix it, but ya gotta do it. It never feels right if you don't fix it or if you take shortcuts.
BTW - did you hit the "le culprit" or did "le culprit" hit you?

Another problem with PDC is that it is too darned slow. I really want it when firing up and backing out of a nose first parking spot. I'm usually through reversing and going forward before ole PDC wakes up.
I think jtxc backed into le culprit. He was moaning the case yesterday. I feel real sorry for anyone who skins or get skinned. Not a good day - week - month - have another drink . . .

Yes yes I hit the green monster.
KS - I'll consider those suggestions, I like the belt buckle one a lot!
Anyone........How much was/is PDC as an option?
