Default BMW dealership wrecks m5
Sorry if this is a repost. Dealership does $30k worth of damage, offers to cover $2.5k of parts.

and the original thread from the m5 forums:

$30K in front end damage? Something doesn't add up in that respect, although.... It's a BMW, furthermore an M5 so I guess it's possible?

German cars are expensive to fix. I was just reading about a Boxster that got T-Boned today. No injuries, no side airbag deployment, 12k in damage.

Wasn't this the same news source that posted the GTO tail light story?

It's entirely possible. My brother hit a deer in his MB GL550 last winter and that was $18k in damage and it looked nothing like this M5.

Hope the M5 owner gets this sorted properly, that is a mess!
