do you have pics of the damage? kind of hard to give guesstimates based on text.

Same happened to me a few months back

Plan on bumper replacement, paint, etc. to be 1200 or so. One exhaust is 500 bucks I thought, maybe more like 700. Problem is, you then have one new exhaust and one old. Try to bend back the exhaust tip before replacing or have insurance company give you a credit for the damage, especially if it is the fault of other driver. Good luck.

Partly your fault? More like 100% your fault.

No, I was rear-ended on highway

I had to stop quickly and the Bonneville trailing me was not able to stop quite as quickly as the X5. The guy's insurance covered the damage.

I put my turn signal about 15 feet before the spot and slowly came to a stop put my reverse lights on and checked my mirrors, there were no other cars on the st and i waited atleast 10 sec before i started backing up.....

Your car was moving and she was not, you were under control, you are responsible for whatever you hit - whether moving forward or backward - even if it is in your blind spot. Sorry.

she was moving when she hit me! she was going forward and i was going backward..... therefore her front fender hit my back fender which would mean she rear ended me regardless of if i was going backwards or not.

My take is neither one of you knew who was responsible for what, hence the no cops/no insurance.

Back to the OT, if you get some pics up we could all give you a better idea of what you're looking at.
