My Ride: 2008 550I LOADED, all options except HUD and NV
LOL, yeah guys, I am fine. I am definitely NOT doing Orions (unless Trinity or Motorcepts make their own versions). We will see what the insurance says.
Crash happened at less than 15 mph, no airbag deployment, actually pretty surprised at the amount of damage.

really surprised by the amount of damage considering your speed. Then again the material our cars are made of are not meant for physical contact. Glad you are fine.

Thanks, and yep, I am VERY surprised by the damage. The only reason I can think of is when he slammed on his brakes his rear bumper raised, which put it in perfect alignment with the leading edge of my hood. Since our hood is aluminum it didn't stand much chance against the trailer towbar of the SUV and it took out the hood latch crossmember for sure, and we will see when the hood is opened what else happened.

Since the holidays are coming up, and (obviously) I take care of my kids and wife before I can mod the car, here's a short list of what I am hoping to get done.
1) CF hood
2) LCI headlights
3) Hamann style front bumper
4) the return of matte black kidney grilles
5) H8 bulbs for brighter AE's on the LCI headlights (Orions are out of the question)
This will set me up nicely for one of the last mods I have planned for my car, refinishing my wheels with a gloss black lip and matte gunmetal centers. After that I think I will be just about done (maybe getting the ECU tune done as well, AAARRRGGGHHH!!!! It never ends
)
