Morning all, somebody scraped the fiancés car trying to squeeze through a gap this morning, thankfully all on dash cam so liability should be easy.

I have said to the guy I’d get some quotes to see the likely cost. How much would I be looking at for the below. It’s the rear OS wheel arch on a 2015 facelift M135i.

Obvious stuff is:
Scraped bumper
Scraped wheel arch (including dent across the squared panel line)
Scuffed alloy

Likely need tracking and a courtesy car for while the repairs are done too (Don’t have another car to use for the Mrs to get to work).

We are also still well within the corrosion warranty period which is another consideration (although the car has been serviced outside the network so not sure where we stand).

Thanks - we’re SSE London (Beckenham) so likely on the higher side of the estimate I’d think.

If anybody knows any good body shops around the area I’m all ears smile
