I was hit in the rear bumper on March 13th by some sloppy lady with no car insurance driving a haggard 1996 Nissan 240sx.
I filed an insurance claim to get the damage repaired and the car was taken to my local BMW dealership...and the same body shop that repainted panels on a VO 1M. So I went there and they know me from the BMW CCA, and they stressed that the paint won't match perfectly beforehand probably because I told them how concerned I was about the paint match on the phone 2 times prior to dropping off the car. After 11 days, the car came back and the new bumper fitment /respray was terrible. Paint doesn' t match (they were right).

I plan on getting rid of my car now.
