$#$@$ you motorcycle rider
My concern is that the body shop will take care of all the cosmetic and structural (if applicable) repairs, but what about electrical? I.e. one of the back up sensors broke and now the thing beeps all the time - the body shop is going to replace the sensor, but what about calibrating the system or verifying it is working properly? Similarly, what about the other electrical features like the self leveling air suspension and the tail lights (i.e. I don't want a check brake lights warning to suddenly appear). And the kicker.....they guy that hit me was riding a BMW motorcycle.

I had no issues with my front sensors being repaired and needed no calibration. They beep at me at the right times.

If insurance is covering it, why not take it to your BMW dealer's authorized repair facility? Then you won't have to worry (as much) about the issues you mentioned above.

The sensor may still be in there...the housing that keeps the sensor in place, broke off. If you look into the hole, you may see the sensor itself still in the bumper area. If it is, you can pull the sensor out and that should stop the PDC from constant beeping. You can pick up a new housing for the sensor...it's cheap and simple to install.

sheesh it's a little ding compared! motorcycles rear ended by cars 1,000,000-1 vs cars rear ended by motorcycles . I'd just be happy if no one was injured.

I can totally understand your frustration from the hit to your X. As a rider myself though, I have to say I bet he felt that hit many times more than yourself. Obviously he could have been killed as would be very unlikely for you in an suv. How did he fair? Did he say how that happened? Glad everyone's ok!
