I was reversing out of a curved driveway which had two gate posts and a fairly narrow gate opening. I was using my mirrors for direction, and relying on my PDC warning system, I was also reversing too rapidly.

Yep, the PDC went off, and then I crunched the rear corner of the X3 into one of the gate posts. Total stupidity on my part. Cost me $1300 as I did not claim it on insurance.

I was turning around in a dead end road and backed into a cement potted plant. I thought it could be touched up and fixed, but both quotes have required replacement of the whole rear bumper. Debating on if I should claim it or not.
