Another newbie

Hi All, I just found this site a few day ago and just had to join! Although I'm not a DIYer I do like to hear and see what they do.

Thanks to a drunk 17 year old in her daddys Hummer (H1) on the 118, my 540 is toast and my 2003 4.4 x5 is no my daily driver. With that, I decided that I want to have some mods done to change its appearance. (running boards, grill change, bumper guards, etc). Anyone know where in So. Cal who does good work?

Oh, and I saw someone with a custom Candy Apple X5 3.0 with captains chairs in the back instead of the bench seat. Has anyone else done that mod?

Thanks all in advance!

That's a nice list of mods to start with. There are many people in Cali. that should be able to point you in the right direction.

I'm not sue happy - but will press my Insurance company to do everything they can. I'm more sad to see my baby go. She was an 01 and we've been togehter for 87,00 hassle free miles. Prior to that I had a 1990 525 (manual) that was with me for 322,002 miles! Never had any work done to her either besides scheduled services, and the basics like tires/breaks etc.

I'm hoping than now since my X is my daily drive I'll get the same loyalty out of her.

Yeah I hear you! I'm an Insurance Broker and the advice I can offer is NEVER settle for the first offer the Insurance Company gives you, they ALWAYS low-ball you see if you will take the Bait, press them for more, r u injured at all, whiplash? The 2001-2003 5 Is my favorite 5 series of all time.

would you suggest that i have my ins. company negotiate for me, or should i do it myself - or get a lawyer. I heard a lawyer isn't really worth it since they take 1/3 and don't really get you much more anyway. I'm not trying to get rich by an accident, but don't want to be taken advantage of either. Any advice is welcome.

I was banged up a little, dislocated my shoulder because the way the seatbelt 'snapped me' (would have been much worse w/o a seatbelt so I'm thankful that I had it on)

I'd try to get the other insurance company give you a settlement, your payout should be somewhere in the range of Fair/Good Market Value on KBB.com, even if it's perfect don't use "excellent" because thats for showroom floor cars only
