Hi guys,

I was driving during a heavy snowstorm in Ontario and long story short I was making a turn and hit my rear wheels against a curb laterally.

The Indy mechanic informed me about the following damages:
Rear subframe bent
Knuckle cracked
Trailing arm bent
Upper control arm bent
Anti roll strut damaged
Rear differential leaked due to seal breaking

BMW quoted me $12000 for total repairs! But I don't have accident forgiveness with Allstate insurance since I've been driving fewer than 5 years and my insurance is quoting me a 75% increase for the next 6 years...

So I'm going with the Indy shop who quoted me $2300 with a used suspension and subframe. Quote with only suspension replacement is $1200.

My question is: do you guys think it's worth the $1100 for a subframe replacement? The subframe didn't take any compressive or twisting damage. The metal is bent on a single plane and the mechanic ensured me that it wouldn't compromise the structural integrity of the car. I also am still under BMW warranty and plan to extend it. Since it's an oem part replacement BMW shouldn't be able to tell it was swapped.

Thanks
