Hit
Barely 4 weeks after delivery. Dead stop in a left turn arrow lane. Guy behind me stops. All of a sudden I feel a jolt as if I accidentally took my foot off the clutch and it stalled.
I realize I'm hit and jumped out. A Russian dude gets out and apologizes--says his foot slipped off the brake. 2010 Highlander. Bumper cover is a bit messed up, don't see any damage below. But 800 miles, WTF? Silver lining. The weekend after I picked up the beast from the dealer I noticed indentations in the rear bumper as if somebody bashed me in the garage, or maybe they were there when I picked her up. In any event I'll get a new bumper cover, and the body shop I use is nonpareil. Pristine bumper again.

I just had mine backed into. The drivers corner of the back bumper is smashed in, looks like I'll need to replace the whole thing.
Nice way to start thanksgiving. |

Sorry to hear that, but main thing is your okay. This is why we have insurance for cars. Long as ur okay, a car is always fixable/replacable.
did u happen to take some pics? |

I took some and the damage is hard to see in a photo (have them on my home PC). Wondering how they repair something like that as I believe the bumper cover is just plastic. Maybe have to replace the whole thing.

Sux. Same thing happened to me 3 weeks ago. Also, the guy that hit me was Russian too (but not his fault, someone else plowed into him).

They just delivered a new Dodge Charger. Now this will be interesting to compare to the Bimmer....

So the car's been at the body shop for 10 days and it's going to be there a few more because: 1. the first bumper cover the dealer shipped was for an E90, and 2. two brand new F30 M-Sport bumpers shipped from 2 different BMW dealers have come in with identical damage and deformity.
I only had the car for barely 4 weeks before that idiot tagged the bumper. I wonder if the whole current inventory is messed up. Anybody else run into this issue?

Sorry to hear about the fender bender snowghost, I had a similar experience except for the fact that it was a dipsh*t hipster on a single-speed bike rear end me, ended up with trunk and rear panel damage all from a BIKE!
This was just days after picking up the car from the Performance Delivery Center... It's since been fixed and forgotten. Hope you got a nice loaner. |
