Cracked my front bumper
So I cracked my front bumper hitting a curb while parking lol #fml. Would a body shop get a new bumper or try to fix the crack if I was going to use comprehensive insurance? Which would not raise my premium. Also maybe I can get the m3 replica out of this deal? Need opinions what to do. Thanks

I too have a small crack in my bumper. A body shop could try to use filler and then respray while a BMW dealer would replace the entire bumper. I decided I'm getting an OEM aero lip to cover the crack.

Sorry to hear!
I wouldn't go through insurance for this. You'll still have to pay the deductable and your rates could go up. Depending how it's cracked, it could be repairable. I've actually seen a shop repair a crack (not sure how they did it) but you couldn't tell it was ever cracked even on the inside. All I know is that it wasn't a filler, it was some kind of plastic weld. Better to pay out of pocket, as much as that sucks

ya thats not gonna fly under comprehensive, better to pay out of pocket than deductible plus rate hike possibly, may be a good time to upgrade to nicer bumper.
