Hypotethetically speaking, if my wife were to have backed into someone in her X5 causing some minor bumper and tailgate damage, would I be obligated to tell BMW Finance or have it repaired at a BMW shop? Just curious....  |

Quote: | I don't believe that BMW body shops are substandard. | Agreed! I purchased a CPO'd Z3 Coupe from Brecht in Escondido, CA. Part of the deal required repainting the entire hood, (lots of stone chips) repair of a pole-dent on a 1/4 panel, and a new windshield. The affected areas looked terrific, and the paint was perfectly matched.

i made the mistake of taking it to bmw n.j . most do not have their own body shop???
the repair for 5 series 06. bumper and headlight no body damage 2500.00 us. my 1000 dect. net loss 1500.00 but if i took it to a pro shop cost 2100 cash. out of pocket 1100. 00 no carfax info reported plus now my rates rose $400 yr for 2.5 years . for me it was a bad mistake to turn claim it . and no go to local great shop and pay cash. by being honest i got nailed.

I'm leasing. If I need body work, I'm putting it square in the hands of BMW, not Billy Bob's Body Shop. When I turn that puppy in and disclose the repair, there can be no possibility of BMW complaining because they did the repair.

i agree somewhat. but if it's an oem bumper replacement done by not biily bob's . but a quality shop. i have 10 yrs in that business . it will work out...most of my local dealer's send it to their own billy bob shop's. as they dont have their own body's shop's..big damage bmw shop to protect yourself . minor damage ..i am not so sure. i leased a lot of cars in my time.

also most bmw dealerships have no shop so bmw did not do the work. they sent it to their shop. so what happen's if you are in the middle????
