Well guys it happened, I crashed my e60. My insurance lapsed so im stuck on that end, might get my liscense suspended plus I have to pay out of pocket to fix my car and the car I hit.
Well if it's not too much trouble I will need some help. The parts that were damaged were all in the front passenger side. Im gonna need a new Adaptive Bi-Xenon headlight assembly. Bumper, Fender and hood. And all the minor lil plastic clips and peice that end up being the real money wasters. Im looking into changing the front end to M-Aero kit. This is gonna be a project for me to rebuild my car. At least I have another car to drive until Im done with this. So If you guys know anyone with any of those parts for sale I would really appreciate it if you would let me know. My car is titanium silver and an '06 model 530i. If the hood and fender come prepainted that color even better. So if you guys find any parts or have any propositions for me please let me know. Wish Me luck. And thank you in advance for all and any of your help.

Thanx im in Glendale, Socal Region. If anyone knows of any parts for my ride please let me know Im not gonna bondo anything. I would prefer the parts to come in Titanium Silver, Since it is a fairly new car I dont think I would need to paint match. I just hate the idea of having my new car painted. At this moment If I could I would get rid of this car and get a new one but im stuck on the lease contract.

Sorry to hear, hope you are fine.
How is it that your insurance lapsed ? Here, insurances are always silently renewed, can only lapse if you default on payments.... Just curious.

Have a look in the Classifieds, ebay etc. At some point you will come across what your looking for. At least you have time to look around.

Good luck.

Yep technically it Defaulted on the payment, I sent the check in and It got sent back to me because the insurance company pulled a deeper clue report and Found out I had one previous accident on my record. So they did not want to Cover me and then it happened. Just a string of bad luck.

Do not worry, sh*t happens, it will be like 3-4000$ but hope it can be less, just a wild guess.
Hope you have insurrance...
