Guys,

I had an accident last night. I am feeling so bad and have lost my appetite :(

BMW said they do not repair but will replace parts. the major parts they said that would be required to be changed are

1. front left fender = 40 k INR = 800 dollars
2. left headlamp = 90 k INR = 1800 dollars
3. front bumper = 40 k INR = 800 dollars

Labour is about 150 dollars.

Insurance says they will only cover 50 % of the cost because the parts involved are plastic.

Shall I just go to a bodyshop and get the fender and bumper fixed and painted? I have gotten a quote for the repair of the front bumper and the front left fender for about 600 dollars. BMW said I will loose some body and paint warranty if i do it outside of BMW.

I will need to purchase a new headlamp though..

what shall I do? go through BMW and pay through my nose or go to a reputable body shop and get the front bumper and left fender repaired?

They body shop dude said the fender can be repaired....look at the pic, there is a crack in it...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Guys!
