So I'm on the highway about to pull onto the off ramp to get off the highway and some kid cuts me off and slams on his brakes and i rear end him! I was so pissed! I'm still pissed I can't believe it. My first brand new car and i have it only for a little over a month and its already damaged. I probably need a new front bumper and my headlight is cracked, one of my front grills is broken, and the hood is dented a little. I feel like im in some sort of nightmare, someone please wake me up! This sucks and I was suppose to show off my car tomorrow at my sisters wedding. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

d3syd · 07-11-2008, 10:45 PM

tiintegra · 07-11-2008, 11:00 PM

Yeah I'm ok the only thing hurt are my feelings

and the 1er.... Anyone know of any good body shops in the Boston area? I got my car from BMW Gallery in Norwood, i know they have a body shop anyone have any experiences with them? Man this sucks!!!!!!!! I wash my car everyday, and now this happens. Makes me so pissed

Bdh821 · 07-11-2008, 11:38 PM

that sucks man sorry to hear... trust me i know the feeling. I totalled my last sports car after having it on the road for 3 weeks...

I don't know of any autobody shops tho. I'd think the dealers body shop would be the best for the job?

tiintegra · 07-12-2008, 07:40 AM

Thanks for the responses. I'm so bummed.

itsthechuck · 07-12-2008, 08:33 AM

Bummer. Talk to your assigned Service Advisor at the Gallery. They frequently have their cars touched up or repaired for resale. They'll have the hook-ups on whats the best place to take it. The Norwell Gallery send their cars out to a guy in Rockland, who I've used before with factory indistinguishable results. i'm sure the Norwood Gallery has the same.

By any chance were you been parked on Newbury Street, like a month ago? Newbury and Fairfield (or Newbury/Exeter)? I saw a black/black 128i on the corner. Only 1er I've seen.

Yeah I'll have to give him a call probably today. I heard this place factory collision in weymouth is really good.

I been around Newbury Street but I have a 135i not a 128i. Was the 128 a convertable? Because thats only other 1er i've seen around the Boston area.

ARES45 · 07-12-2008, 10:39 AM

And I felt bad when I got a couple rock chips, I'm sorry and good luck. I still don't know what I want to do with my chips.

Unfortunately wasn't you then.

I used to know those guys at Factory Collision, if they are the same guys. They used to do high end 1-off paint jobs on muscle and show cars at the time.

Rachel · 07-12-2008, 12:06 PM

That's awful! I hope you can get it fixed and back on the road soon.

These the same people Larry?

I think I might bring it to that place, but first I need to contact my insurance company. I talked to the service guy at bmw gallery he told me they have their own body shop in Norwood.... Anyone have any experience with them?

eunosracr · 07-12-2008, 05:12 PM

Hey at least you are ok. The car will be fixed. Let me know if you are interested in selling the bitch clips off your broken headlight. Thanks!

tiintegra · 07-18-2008, 09:33 AM

I just got the quote from the insurance adjuster.. $4,000 @ $35 dollars an hour. That new headlight assembly is expensive $1150, the new hood is $469. I'm glad I dont have to pay for this!

larryn · 07-18-2008, 02:36 PM

whoa! That's pricey. You should be able to get euro whites for that much, if both headlights are needing to be replaced.

Good luck! Hope they fix it quickly.

Purgatory · 07-18-2008, 03:16 PM

Sorry for hijacking the thread, but has anyone got a line on where you could purchase euro white headlights online/dealership (english speaking?)
