Sorry to hear about that. On the other hand, you can put an chrome L over the Toyota logo and everyone will think you're driving a Lexus ES instead of a Camry.

thank god ur ok buddy. i'll come to toronto and visit you and bring u a e60 matchbox car for the time being. hey, time for more mods. bring the insurance check to a cheaper but high quality place and then get other parts and have those installed at the same time

Sorry to hear about your car. Glad to hear you're OK, especially since you got hit right in the drivers door.

I'm surprised the damage is so low. My wife was T-boned in my 525i last January, and the car was totalled. Both front and side airbags deployed, which are very expensive to repair. Also, any damage to the aluminum front end is also very expensive to fix.

Attached is a picture of my car from last year. My daughter was in the front passenger seat. Both she and my wife walked away unscathed, from a 70km/hr side impact collision.

OK, you're experience was worse than mine.

I picked up my 2006 530i on Wednesday, 26-November. It has 9400 miles on it and is virtually flawless. I still have paper dealer tags on it.

On Monday, 08-December some yahoo rear-ended me on Westheimer. He was doing a quick zoom around one car and was trying to pass behind me on his way to the next red light. Traffic had just started moving, but I clearly wasn't moving fast enough for him. He rammed me. I was lucky to be moving as the damage is limited to the rear bumper covers. There isn't a scratch or dent on the trunk lid. His Isuzu Rodeo was a mess- leaking coolant, crushed bumper, etc. He admitted fault, and within 5 minutes the police showed up to write a report and issue him a ticket. Fortunately, he had insurance.

More fortunately, my 5-year old and I were not hurt, although my son has been a bit nervous riding to school this week. He did learn a few new vocabulary words when it happened, let me tell you.

My lesson learned: It is just a car and can be fixed or replaced.

I am glad that you're ok, too.

Yeah, im getting all my other stuff fixed too lol.
We know the garage guy so we're gonna get some body damages fixed.
Getting a free oil change too hehe.
My left passenger door actually got dented already so thats gonna get fixed too.

Im perfectly fine and free fixtures.
The only downside is the CAMRY for the month. But my brother is driving it, not me so

MacSid

Ouch!! The good thing is that you are fine. I hope your pride and joy gets sorted out without any trouble and that the exam went well.

@ rob525i: the state of your car, and the fact that your wife and daughter walked away from that unscathed just reinforces one of the reasons for driving one of these cars

BALASUBAS

ouch!! this suck big time!! sorry to hear about your car bro!

rob525i

Absolutely! My wife always called my 525i the "Old Man's Car". After the accident she was so impressed, she was adamant we were going to replace it. But this time, she said "We're going to get a nice one!".

Check out my signature. I need to change my user name to rob535i
