Took the M out today since the weather was nice. I was driving on the BQE today heading back from my new shop with my partner. Out of no where. *BOOM* We got out of the car and saw flakes of yellow paint all over my rear bumper.

Well, I think you did the right thing. Accidents are just that... accidents. Yes they suck but you would not have lost your job if you hit him you know... I think you did the right thing. Sometimes the right things means sacrifice bro! Kudos!

Damn that sucks John.
Same thing happened to me. Got rear ended by a POS Lexus ES in traffic. Kid was 19 years old. He didn't want to go through insurance. So I robbed him for $180. Didn't care too much. It was my company van.
Would've been a different story if it were my E60.

I think you did the right thing as a person. kudos to you John, seriously.
Granted it will cost more than $100 to paint the bumper, but I think at this point you are the bigger person by letting him slide. Considering this forum consists of people who can afford fairly expensive cars and spend a good amount on other things too, the reality is there are tons of people struggling to just put food on their tables.
On the bright side, you won't have this incident recorded on the car's VIN.
