[andrewe30m3]

have no pics of the engine... its with the bodyshop still - I'm waiting to find out still after 4 days whether its been written off or if its repairable!

I wish they would hurry up!

[Cotty]

Really gutted for you, hope you get it sorted.

Its just another reason I wont buy another car as I dont have the garage space and wont leave it on the street

[andrewe30m3]

UPDATE

head back from insurance that the cost to repair is £3248.00

Waiting now to see whether its to be written off or not!

Will report back when i know more.


Fingers crossed they will repair it!

sorry to be a sh!t stirrer, but isnt it an offence to park that close to a junction? (same goes to the cars in the background?) (Highway code, section 217: do not stop opposite or within 10 metres (32 feet) of a junction)

I drive a large vehicle and sh!t happens you don't go out looking to damage anything.Hope all goes well for you

yep, he would have been the opposite side of the impact very difficult driving when cars parked each side

The highway code is not the law??

[Demlotcrew]

true,

highway is not the law!

NEW UPDATE - 16th August

They are repairing it!! -

Should have it back shortly - Actually surprised they are repairing it, considering its probably only worth 4-4.5k and the repair is 3.5k - but still better the devil you know and all that!

Will post some pics once its sorted. anyway- this is what it was like pre accident!

Don't worrie m8, Not much damage just some Minor damage my friend, All u need is a Front bumper, n/s wing , & n/s front indicator. Trust me Ive got an E36 Saloon which was a Cat D Salvage when I bought it hit from the back & front. I got it repaired & its looking good now. Good Luck with your claim anyway.

[tregzybmw]

glad they are repairing it....mine got wrote off, cost of repair was £3200...but mine was a j reg

[steerfromtherear]

Hello Tregzy lol didn't expect to see you here.

Andrew someone else mentioned this already but do make sure the bodyshop the insurance use are to your standards, either through reccomendation or experience.
Insurance companies will always go for insurance approved workshops, but this does not ensure quality.

Both the Bridgwater and Taunton insurance approved bodyshops have been known to turn out some dire quality work and literally everyone I know who has work done at them has had to return, one friend 6 times.

You have the right to demand they use your preffered bodyshop, probably costing them less than insurance approved one as well looking at that quote . You may lose the courtesy vehicle though

[m3ben05]

Glad its getting sorted for you mate - would be sad to see such a nice car written off.

Any idea when it will be back?

the main thing is that he left a card cos how many would just drive off
