Hit a pole texting tore a few things up

Guess that's y they say don't text and drive. I was getting on the interstate on ramp and instead of turning I went straight and clipped the pole. It put a good dent in my car and a bunch of scratches. But it took both sides of my driver side mirror off. Where can I get the mirror and back piece from for cheap. Isnt tbeir a website that has old parts you can order?

Sorry pics suck my iPhone camera is garbage

Yeah weird, it's like if you are looking at your phone you can't see where you're driving.

This time it's your side mirror, next time it's a human being; so cut that shit out. You can get your parts at your BMW dealership or on ebay. Use realoem to find the part numbers.

You could have just lied about the texting part.

Agreed. But hey, everybody has to make the mistake at least once before they understand. The OP got his dose of karma.

Just pay the repairs this time and put the phone down next time, end of story.

body work, you can get a body shop to do it for ya. some filler and respray.

before you go to the body shop, buy the mirror cover since they need to be painted too.

where you can buy the mirror cover, you can buy the mirror glass.

good luck, drive safe. no more texting while driving....

I feel like you were trying to say something else here but it came out pretty unusual.

The quote you picked out from my post is just a paraphrasing of the OP's first sentence
