My Ride: 2008 550I LOADED, all options except HUD and NV
Be aware of exhaust damage from the impact. My friend experienced a light hit from behind and later found damaged couplers and pipe bends in the entire system. Might look small now but that pipe runs all the way to the front and hangs on rubber doughnuts most of the way. Swing swing..
+1 Definitely have it checked, my wifes car got rear ended (dual exhaust on her Subaru) and even though it didn't looks bad outside there was $12k in damage - new suspension in the rear (bent), new exhaust (header back was all bent), new rear diff. Yeah, didn't look bad either, I can send you pics. It ended up being costly for the guy.

You know I did feel that my alignment was off yesterday after the collision, and I had it aligned like 2 weeks ago!
I will definitely have the car checked again, or I'll just ask the shop what they checked. The estimate I got was mainly for cosmetic though, so they most likely never even lifted the car.
