was sitting at a traffic light and some dumba** in a Nissan Xterra drops the clutch and bang! 
I'm like WTF, and his response is "my foot slipped off the clutch!" to which I responded, "if you were'nt so fu**ing close to me it would not have mattered!"
I can't believe this happened....got an estimate on the way home and the whole bumper (M aero kit) has to be replaced and also the trunk (boot) behind the license plate is creased! A total of about $1,400 in damage....it's the hassle that really pisses me off....at the time he is like "please don't file a claim with my insurance company" so when I called him this afternoon, I said, "$1,400 with your insurance company or $1,700 in cash!".....needless to say I filed a claim...I am so pissed
Just venting in the hood......
Cheers,

Bokke, sorry to hear about that, I know we all fear this kind of thing with all the idiots on the road. Make sure you get the body work done where YOU want it done, the other guys insurance company might try to send you to some cut rate body shop where THEY get a discount. Make sure you get a body shop that does a lot of BMW and high end imports. I wonder if you can get a BMW approved body shop so as not to void your warranty? Just a thought. Good Luck.

I feel for you, but the costs don't sound too bad.
A buddy of mine had a guy in a Ford F150 back into his Lotus Elise... WHILE BACKING UP IN AN AUTOMATIC TOLL PLAZA (a crime). The car is so low he didn't see him in his rearview. The trailer hitch went through the carbon fiber front-end. The entire front is a single piece of carbon fiber - made to order... $21,000 to repair - that's just bolting a new painted piece to the spaceframe.
That guy was driving the truck for his job - insured by the company he worked for *ouch*!!!

Hi Bokke:
I'm really sorry to hear about your bad luck. Have you done any more meter testing? You need to decrease your times by .1 because you are such a big guy. I bet the guy that hit you was happy to see someone your size mad at him.
