Sorry to hear, but glad the wife is ok. Can def relate, below was ours after 8 days and less than 300 miles. Kid didn’t have insurance either. No one was hurt, fortunately.

6 months and $30k in repairs later, it looks brand new.

Hey fellow Nova Scotian!
Sorry to hear about your car. Where did you end up getting your quote from?
I have a 22 X5 and this past weekend someone was kind enough to slam their door into mine in a parking lot. Came out from the store to a toonie size dent and paint damage down to the primer, right on the sort of crease area below side mirror.
People.....just......suck....

BMW Halifax instructed me to go to Chapmans for repairs.....taking it in for a quote next week. Getting ready to be bent over........

Yes, I went to Chapmans as well. It goes in next week but they’ve been good so far, and they’re bmw certified if that makes a difference.

Sorry to hear about your car. People have no respect for others property. I don’t park my m5 anywhere near anyone else - the one time I did an old lady dinged my rear quarter.

After talking with my insurance - TD, they told me if I had added their 'grand touring' option to my coverage, about $60 per year, this would have been fully covered. I've added it now for future incidences...

My deductible in this case is 1k. Will see what Chapmans says....

Same thing happened to me recently.
Barely any damage but knocked out bumper sensors etc.
Bmw charged 1800 to re calibrate.
Body shop was 2k for new rear bumper rather than repair.
Received check for $2300. For diminished value.
Car looks brand new again
