Just got in accident today... M-Tech?

DunklerEngelVNV · 01-28-2015, 05:44 PM

Some idiot didn't yield to me when they were making a left hand turn and I ended up having to hit my brakes. Still hit the side of his car... Nothing major luckily but I definitely need a new front bumper. I just got this car a month ago, and the only thing I regret is not being more patient for a good deal on a M-Sport packaged one. My car is a 2011 335i. Sport and premium. Jet black. Haven't even had it long enough to mod it at all yet with work keeping me busy.

Anyways, I was thinking of talking the body shop into maybe putting a m-tech bumper on there and hopefully breaking even or even having extra cash afterwards. I was looking at the SoCal auto shop thread and noticed it was last updated in 2011... I just moved to Camarillo recently and would like to know if anyone has any good body shop recommendations near Camarillo or at least in Ventura County area.

Here is a pic of the damage...

Do what makes you happy, so I have a feeling M sport?

Thanks guys. I slept on it and definitely want to do it! I just have to find a good body shop in my area. I have one lead so far, but its about an hour away from me. Had favorable reviews though. Anyone know of a good shop near Camarillo? Worst case scenario, I'm prepared to drive up to 60-70 miles. I know there isn't much out here compared to LA. I'll make a post in the SoCal auto shop thread as well in case it may get more views then this thread. I just moved here a few months ago and am still getting situated.

I have used Premier Coach in Thousand Oaks before and they are decent.

Nice! Looks like they are the body shop that partners with Rusnak and I see they have a location in Camarillo as well. I'll drop by after work and see what they can do. Thanks for the recommendation!

Shipping might be tricky from Indiana to CA, but i'll definitely PM you if I can't find anything local.

Get their insurance to write u a check then replace it on your own time.

You don't need a body shop for that, just part the old bumper and buy mtech.

BBONG · 01-29-2015, 03:37 PM

Yes M Tech FTW!!!
