Gnat is going to be jealous as it didn't take 10+ months to repair! Your initial guesstimate was darned close.Battery Guy wrote: ↑Thu Jun 04, 2020 5:27 pm OK. The BMW is back and looks good. Also much cleaner then when it left. Was very pleased with the body shop that I used - they are MB certified and several other certifications (Audi, Tesla) but oddly not BMW. But the work they did was excellent, I cannot tell that there was paintwork even in very bright sunlight. Also my stone chips on the hood and the moderately hacked up front air dam are either replaced or refinished. Basically it looks like a new car.
Final bill was $8,250 !! Fortunately my deductible was $500 so that was my total cost.

Re: Oh Deer...
I was amazed that it took less than a month, especially since I have a pretty low-volume model (335i GT). But parts were in stock, even the new fender required. The cost of bodywork today is jaw dropping though...32wildbilly wrote: ↑Thu Jun 04, 2020 5:43 pmGnat is going to be jealous as it didn't take 10+ months to repair!
