I'm sure you could just purchase these in any BMW parts dept. at your local dealership.

Even though it's driveable, I can't (won't) drive it now. Just something about driving around in a wrecked car that's usually clean and pristine -- I don't handle that very well...

[/quote]Then can u send them to me on a personal level? haha no dont if you dont want to... but pics explain damages better than words... see how well the car holds up.
As for driving a wrecked car I feel the same... (*knock on wood*) I wouldnt want to drive around in a wrecked car. it will go stragiht to the body shop. Full insurance... will get it fixed then worry about whos paying it. Let insurance work it out then. Benefit of having full coverage. I DONT WANT TO USE IT THO!!!!

Rudy,
Not sure if you picked a body shop yet....but I took mine to Kilkery's and they did a great job. I just had minor hood damage but they work on BMW's and other high end cars for the most part. I was surprised at how much they new about the E60.
