Wrecked my Baby today :(

trick50 · 12-11-2007, 04:34 PM

UPDATE from 12/18/2007: Adjustor came to look at it from allstate said that his first estimate is about 12k. But he told the body shop not to fix anything until they strip the nose of the car and check for engine damage in which case it would most likely be totalled...The body shop had to order a battery cable to get the car started which was on back order from BMW and took a while due to the holidays...(all BMW's have like a breaker in the positive battery cable that trips upon hard collisions and cuts all power to ignition, fuel systems etc to prevent fire) So you need to replace it to get the car started.

UPDATE from 1/4/2004:
Got a call from the body shop..they said that they had stripped off the nose of the car (they have been waiting for the battery cable to come in from BMW to get the car running) and found a small casting (bolt hole on the engine block for bracket mount) broken off the engine (which could be easily repaired) but they also found a crack in the actual engine block on the front and also noticed that the harmonic balancer (or dampener) which is supposed to have a pinky's width between it and the block was pushed back touching the engine block so that means that the crank was pushed back and there is probably also a crack in the back of the block.

So basically it is going to be totalled just waiting for Allstate to come out on Tuesday and make it official. I'm just wondering and maybe someone on here can help...how does it work with my rims...I just put them on a month ago..and I do not have the stock ones..will they cut me a seperate check for them? I mean they didn't cost me a ton but they were still 1800 and I just got them and since I am going to get another 335i coupe I would like to have them back or at least the money so I can just buy another set.

Also do I get any of my money back for other mods? Like Tints, carbon roundels, euro headlight switch, pedals etc. Or am I just assed out?
ot the cable in (was on back order from BMW and was delayed due to the holidays)...stripped the nose of the car and really examined

************************************************** ************************************************** *******************************
A guy blew a stop sign and when he finally saw me coming he stopped in the middle of the intersection...I couldn't swerve to the other side of the street cuz there was a school bus stopped..so I swerved to the right hit the brakes and skidded on to the sidewalk into a tree.

The guy came over to me said "sorry man I didn't see you" I said "well apparently you didn't see me or the stop sign" as I was on the line with BMW assist I got out of the car to put my coat on and look at the car and the guy took off while I had my back turned.

Didn't get his plate as it was bent downwards and while I was chasing him on foot he saw me chasing and took off in his lesbian green saturn.

Really sucks my car was supposed to go to the shop next week to install the Vorsteiner Decklid and OEM aero lip...looks like I might be getting a Rieger front bumper now..

Anyone know how much the Rieger bumper is compared to the stock bumper.?

madman · 12-11-2007, 04:38 PM

Holy smokes dude thats frickin terrible.

Hope you're ok and hope he gets what he deserves

trick50 · 12-11-2007, 04:48 PM

Acap14 · 12-11-2007, 04:49 PM

Zephyr15 · 12-11-2007, 04:50 PM

What a piece of .... I'm sorry about your car; my passenger doors got christened awhile back by Bambi Jr., but nothing like that.

ejazbmw · 12-11-2007, 04:59 PM

woah that sucks, I know its not funny and I know your probably pissed off (you have every right to be) but i kinda laughed when i read the guy just ran away I would have thrown a rock at his window or something....

nyc3r · 12-11-2007, 05:17 PM

next time, don't avoid it and just hit him. grab a witness who saw him ran the stop sign and you're good to go.

cmega412 · 12-11-2007, 06:35 PM

Sorry man hope everything works out

e92phreak · 12-11-2007, 06:43 PM

Sorry to hear man.

Most important thing... Are you okay?

gongtowjai · 12-11-2007, 06:46 PM

I hope you're ok...make sure you see a doc for any whiplashes. This really sucks...I hope they catch that guy and make him paid for it.

shadye90 · 12-11-2007, 06:59 PM

Damn Lou..U alright?..I remembered we almost had a close call a whiles back at one of my meets remember?..If you want PM me what you remember about the guy or his car and i'll keep a lookout for him..I got a lotta snitches in many places..Seriously Pm me if you need anything...

Queenskid24 · 12-11-2007, 07:11 PM

wow that sucks man, i hope everything works out for you.

vladinecko · 12-11-2007, 07:13 PM

that blows! don't worry though, it's gonna catch up to him.

Dleo · 12-11-2007, 07:30 PM

WTF??

Sorry to hear about the car man,
Lou is a nice guy and really doesnt deserve this...

I would say you are better off if they total it, it will never be the same :sad0147:

Bimmer335i07 · 12-11-2007, 07:38 PM

Damn Lou, sorry to hear about what happened.

I was in a hit and run accident about 2 years ago in Staten Island, back when I had a 2005 Nissan Maxima. And guess what, it was a shitty green Saturn too! F'ing idiot ran a red light. Lucky for me, I got his plates and my insurance went after his insurance.

Hope that you are okay and did not get injured.

Good luck with everything.

JackMac · 12-11-2007, 07:40 PM

Ouch, sorry to see that.

Hope things go well for you with insurance and repairs.

wow man, my sincerest apologies first off. second, like roller84 said, did this happen around by you? best bet is it go to DMV and see if you can get a print out of all the registered green Saturns around. doubt it will work. totally feel bad for you man. good luck!

BMXtreme · 12-11-2007, 08:31 PM

Oh man....sorry to hear this man! Guy took off really suck ass....sigh..hope someone is able to help you track him down...maybe a witness......hope you're ok.
