Don't you wish PDC would go into "full alert" later than it does?

My Ride: 2008 535i: June 6th start build, complete June 17th, at NY Port July 5th, at dealer July 10th, took delivery Friday July 13- Plantimum Bronze/Natural Brown Leather/Light Poplar, Sport Package, Sport Auto, Active Steering, Premium Package, CWP & PDC. Dinan Performance Software 384hp & 421 ft/lbs.
I backed into my Grand Cherokee, which was parked right behind my 545, it cost me $550. The autoplace said that if they heat gunned the bumper cover it should come back to 95%. Since your damage appears low on the cover it could save you money and not look horrible.

[/quote]Ya I would rather have 6 inches... when I back up into my garage I need to back up ALLL the way to avoid the door comming down onto the front of the car so which means backing up and leaving 6 inches or less before hitting somthing. Since the tone goes solid at 12" I always back up more after that and I dont know exactlly how much more is left. Guessing works pretty well... since backing up a little more after the solid tone seems to be in a close enough ball park.

if that's your garage, it should be a easy fix. just put something like a cushion or soft pad on the wall. or anything that won't damage or leave any scratch even if you back into it. but it'll be a bit difficult if you are in a tight parking space in certain parking structures. i'd also like to have it down to 6" or so.
