Oh NO! So very sorry to hear of your accident. Most important though is that you are ok. They'll make your X5 good as new I'm sure.

If you already haven't, be prepared to learn some patience. I've come to learn that when it comes to repairs/work done on my M50i, it's slow going. I dropped mine off on Jan 6 for similar repair and the last and final parts didn't arrive until May 20. (I got it back like 3 weeks after initial repair, but had to take it back in like 4 different times over that time.) Covid really screwed things up b/c parts mostly had to come from Germany, and some BMW had to make. Might be better now tho. Just had my master cylinder replaced under warranty. Car has 5500 miles and is 9 months old. Took 9 days. Thankfully in both instances, they were very accommodating and supplied free loaners. |

I'm glad the OP is safe, although the situation sucks, the X5 did what it was designed to do and as others have mentioned, if you were not there, the moron driving the other car would've ploughed into that red dingy little car already stationary at the light, and that would have been a right mess.
tell us more

Right, but the beauty of an after market video recorder is thieves can see it and just seeing it, whether its real or fake, is a deterrent.

I wasnt sure about purchasing the BMW Recorder but after watching your video, I just went ahead and purchased it. $149 lifetime. Thank you for the post and I'm glad you were OK in the accident.

I believe that the damages may be more than your initial estimate OP. Make sure that they review the entire exhaust system since in our case, it was bent and had to be fully replaced. That's very expensive. In addition, we were able to get all brand new OEM parts for each part. 25K and still waiting for a wiring harness, but back on the road. I am impressed about the build quality and rigidity of the vehicle, it would have been much worse in a different car. Now I need to figure out how to do a diminished value claim in Illinois, not sure if that's something you or others know...... |

Thankfully, my satin wrap is going to be replaced and covered by insurance. Meanwhile my appreciation grows for the X5 as my rental is a 2020 mid tier Nissan Rouge. Thankful to have a vehicle though. |

Just giving an update. We are shy of two months since the incident. Car went into the BMW certified collision center late August.
Car is still in the shop. From what I understand, the whip lash protection headrest can not be reset so they have to completely replace them. Also, since my car came with the towing package and trailer hitch. The part number that was ordered for a replacement, did not match what was sent from Germany. So the part number that pulls up with my VIN is not the correct part. They sent a part with a lower tow rating. Also, the exhaust took weeks to get in. Long story short, DO NOT GET HIT. |

So glad I got this feature!
I wonder what happens if you press the hot key to start recording but it is already recording from an event it has recorded? |

What other type of electronic items were involved with the headrest/seatbelts. |

No clue what took the most impact, honestly the rear hitch was just slightly bent in the chain hook on the corners. Thats the only visible damage it had. [QUOTE=SmartSaves;26785770] Quote:

How does this damage look compared to your vehicle?
Have they given you an updated cost of repair? I have to imagine it's going to be quite high since you've had the rental car for 90 day's |
