I've seen YouTubes videos where they do miracle work on crunched cars. Over here, they just total minor damage. Depreciation is passed on to owners. Good luck! Hope to see it back on the road!

It's what I do. Harbor Freight has cheap large blankets. One large blanket folded up should be enough. You can use carboard for glass areas as protection.

A great alternate to 235/65R17 are 255/60R17. I like mine. The X5 feels more planted on wet and dry roads. Even with a few inches of snow, it moved great.
