BMW Insurance repair lottery quiz?

bodtwo · 09-12-2018, 10:29 AM

Hello All,

unfortunately a kind lorry driver from the continent decided to side swipe my other halves Z4 on the M1 last Thursday. He pushed her into the outside lane but luckily no one was next to her and apart from being shook up all the damage is on the car.

So took it into sytners today and am waiting the quote for putting right. What you can't see from the pics is that the alloy is screwed, the tyre is damaged and the rear bumper has a 3"x2" scuff/indent.

Door and bottom valance all ok, so just rear quarter panel. Roof mechanism all fine.

So, what do we estimate Sytners will come up with? I'm guessing about £3k.

On a serious note, on saturday night, not far from where this happened some poor woman broke down and was driven into and killed. Daren't tell the misses as she's still shook up.

I'll see your £3K and raise you £1k including VAT!

Given what they wanted for a door scrape on a family Z4 I am going to call £5,500 inc VAT for everything....

Optimistic
£6.99

Pessimistic
£3300 due to some roof mechanism work required.

£120 Tyre
£280 Alloy
£900 bodywork parks
£500 respray work
The rest is BMW Tax

Drop Meg (pm for her email) at Warwick an email asking for an online quote. They quoted me a few hundred quid cheaper than anywhere else.
