My wife was hit from behind a month ago on the freeway in Sothern Cal. The damage looked light and first estimates came back at $3000 for new bumper and exhaust. After being taken apart, the back cross section was slighlty dented. We opted for replacement rather than repair. The car has been in the shop for three weeks....get it back today. I have attached pics of the process. They had to take all of the wheels, suspension, and front bumper off to put it on the jacks to ensure everything was correct. Painful to look at it apart. Yes...I used a certified BMW collision center. The price tag at the end was almost $11K.
