got rear ended...

mattkim85 · 02-11-2009, 06:39 PM

my license plate isnt even here yet
and i got rear ended by a bmw.
i was at a red light and checking out the shitty weather
here in so cal and the next thing i know there is an air bag
in front of my face..
MY rear bumper got messed up pretty bad...(i think the impact hit parts of the rear suspension too) but the beemer
had some scuffs on the bumper and hood... wtf!!!!
the body shop told me that i would have to get a new suspension
and an alignment AND a bumper plus new airbags.
f*ckkkkkk

Ouch, that sucks! How fast was the BMW going when it hit you? I'm guessing this didn't happen today since the weather is actually pretty nice today. I know when the air bags deploy on the BMWs it gets expensive quick.

If you don't mind, post up an estimate when the claims adjustor takes a look at it.

That is horrible! First of all, are you ok? I don't know the rules and regulations for CA but make sure you file a diminished value claim.

SoCal 370Z · 02-11-2009, 06:48 PM

Sorry to hear about your accident. At least you are safe?

RCZ · 02-11-2009, 06:50 PM

Oh man, that is my worst fear right now. That is so bad. I am sorry to hear what happened to you...I'm praying that it didn't affect your chassis.

StLRedrider · 02-11-2009, 07:00 PM

Sorry to hear about your Z, how many miles were on the car when this happened? That really sucks. Sounds like my bad luck, had a cbr900rr 1 day 17 miles on it and ran into some oil in the road, $7000. in damage.

ssqpolo · 02-11-2009, 07:14 PM

Hope you are OK man, sorry about the car, hopefully the damage is not too bad and can be fixed.

BanningZ · 02-11-2009, 07:45 PM

That ******* sucks!

Stupid bimmer

What was the person doing that hit you, text messaging? We have had one friend get rear-ended, and another friend's husband killed by drivers who were sending text messages over their mobile phone while driving.

People in this country need to respect driving more. When you are in a car, nothing is more important than driving.

All that matters is that you are ok.
Did you hit the car in front of you? You mentioned that your airbags deployed.
