So bummed

Pauldramos · 10-20-2013, 10:19 AM

I scraped the left front of my bumper on my '12 X5 M-Sport pulling into a driveway. Taking it on Monday. If there was a 24hr place I'd have driven straight there.

Ouch, nasty. Looks too deep to buff out. Are you replacing the bumper or getting this one fixed?

It's amazing how they can cover up a little accident like this. I started a very similar thread about 2 months ago and the body shop did wonders!

Yeah, I agree. I thought I'd have to replace something.

P1 · 10-24-2013, 09:31 AM

Curious: how much did this end up costing you?

$300. Cash. No questions asked. Dark alley.

I was about to say, look on the bright side, at least you took out the side marker!

But then they put a new one back in its place.

Plot twist: he was trying to take out the side marker, but got frustrated and took it out on the bumper with a wrench.

+1

But anyways, glad that got fixed.
