My Ride: Silver 530i Sports and Premum Package with Navigation. 06/04 build date.
This is what I get for letting my wife drive the car. Haven't gotten an estimate yet but I had it towed to Brecht BMW. They were the only local shop I could find that is certified to work on the aluminum front ends. Hopefully they can put it back together like new.
It doesnt look like it actually did anything except rip the front bumber off but I am not sure yet. Aparently she pulled out without seeing the cross trafic and actually hit the side of the other car.

Sorry to hear about your news. Looks like your wife was not hurt which is more important than the e60. Good luck to you.

Ouch :'( I feel your pain buddy..
I can see there's no damage on the headlights, that's kinda suprising.. I'm sure your local dealer is able to a gd job in repairing your E60.

ouch! Hopefully its just the bumper. I had a minor fender bender where it dented my hood and broke a bracket on my headlight. The total cost was over 3k! The hood is aluminum so they have to replace it and the head light costs an arm and a leg. Doesn't look like any of those parts arre damaged in the picture. Since you have to get a new bumper, you should look into the m-tech bumper. Good luck with the repairs.
