Just go over to Staten Island and steal melimel's or wlkonacloud's bumper off their car. You'll have to paint it, but at least it'll be free. Those girls won't mind or even know.

That sucks - insurance coverage for an '08 should cover the cost of reconstruction. Did the bus driver get a ticket? You didn't let the driver get away did you?

LEFT REAR TAIL LIGHT
quater panel

looking for m5 bumper or mtech non PDC let me know if anyone can help!!!

thanx
Sorry to hear about this, but good to see that you are well and that an E60 can withstand a collision with a bus and come out with relatively "minor" damage. Good luck with the repair. I hope you get the M5 bumper at no cost to you. With insurance companies everything is negotiable and if you are a fairly good negotiator you should be able to get what you want at no additional cost to you. Just remind them that you are an honest person who's not trying to milk the typical"whiplash" out of them. Who knows? It might work.....
