Well, good thing you're safe and healthy for the holidays. It doesn't look like anything a good bodyshop can't fix. On the positive side, you can get Euro Clear headlights when they fix things up .

Thanks Scottie and Statdo for the answer to my airbag question

Sorry about your accident. Glad that everyone is ok. Don't think the impact was hard enough to set off the airbags. Please take care.

Sorry to hear this and hope everyone was okay. Although your pic looks bad, I am impressed how tough our X's are. It takes a lot to make the sheet metal fold up. The angle looks like it missed the air bag sensor in the front since it was on the corner.

Unless there were injuries involved, you are probably better off that the airbags didn't deploy for several reasons.

First, if you and your passengers weren't injured then there really was no reason for the airbags to deploy. The force deployed by the airbags themselves can cause injury, so you only want them going off as a last resort.

Additionally, when they deploy they cause additional expense to repair in the vehicle and can trigger reporting requirements on the vehicle history in certain states. The fact that they didn't deploy may actually be to your advantage financially and in respects to the vehicle "history".

As long as everyone left your vehicle intact then the the X5's safety systems did exactly what they were designed to do.

with the repairs, and be sure to check into a "diminished value" claim against the other driver's insurance since you were not at fault.

Heck, he can go clear Euro's, Aero package or 4.8is front bumper. Glad everyone is OK but I feel bad to see any X in this condition. Make sure the newly painted X matches the rest of the car to your satisfaction (get that in writing so they can do it right the 1st time or they will have to redo it) Good luck

Glad you are OK. The RAV 4 appears to be total loss with the wheels whacked like that. Make the best of it by doing some mods.

so howd it happen, the RAV4 just slammed on brakes and you tried to avoid him, or what?
