Whistle Grr, hit and Run

Go rear-ended today by some d-bag in an Audi. Looks like I'll need a new bumper.

Police can't trace the plate so far

On the bright side, I'm sore but okay he wrecked his front end pretty bad. X5 = tank

Thanks, guys. Well, this at least takes care of the bumper scratches and gouge from before. Hooray for a new bumper :P

So d-bags changed the car brand from BMW to Audi.........
On the bright side, good thing you're OK. Hopefully insurance will take care as it should of your car.
You should have taken a snapshot of lic plate with the phone, but I guess in those moments, it's quite hard to recollect and make a sharp decision....

Good luck with the repair.

Yeah, didn't occur to me to snap it... use the cell camera so little I don't think of it as a camera :P

Knowing Toronto, though, the cops might have found him but backed off because he's connected. Seen it happen when some rich guy beat up a buddy of mine.

Ah, well, he'll reap what he's sown.

I hate it when something like that happens. I would be checking every similar Audi for the next year and making the rounds of all the body shops in the area. Good that you are OK!

Hoping I didn't herniate any discs, back is giving some serious spasm action when standing up. Undaunted, however!

Sorry to hear that. Get to the doctor so you know for sure. If it something minor try the following, works great for me: Icy Hot Smart Relief Tens Therapy Starter Kit | Walgreens

First glad that you are ok! Good luck on locating a good body shop.

I have been into the same situation.. sharing the estimates (all OEM parts)..
The difference is the other driver insurance covered all the liability.

Note: Watch out for the estimates with LKQ Grade A - most of the time it is damaged. I'm glad the adjuster approved all BMW OEM.

(1) Trunk lid, bottom
(1) Rear muffler left
(1) Rear light in trunk lid, left
(1) Bumper trim panel complete kit (including (1) Covering left, (1) Covering Right , (1) Flap)

Misc: Latches, alignment
