Surely the front of cars these days are designed to crumple whereas the rears aren't. I had a ford mini van read-end my car, the ford was worse for wear whereas my car just had a few small scratches on the rear bumper.
M5 been shunted - advice pls (& pics of deformed french rubbish)
- Thread starter TomO
- Start date
no hire car yet.
booked in for 3 track days over the next 10 days and the first is BMW specific and the others will depend on the weather. if its dry then noble, wet it will be the M5. therefore car not going into the garage until after these are done.

you probably already know this, but insurers wont argue over a rear end impact. Its automatically the other persons fault
no questions asked.
so ideally dont report it to your insurers till its sorted. Then you only notify them as a matter of courtesy that its already been sorted. You could if you were feeling naughty not tell them at all. but i wouldnt advocate that .....
Then Let his insurance company / helphire sort it out. If you arrange it through your insurance, you have to go about claiming your excess back through his insurers
least hassle = get helphire or similar to claim off their insurance or you yourself get details off the driver and go direct to his insurer.

I say get it fixed in the garage, demand a car equal to the M5 from insurance, then go on those 3 track days

Rubbish old E39's
For the sake of balance please go and drive your E60 into something at 30mph and report back your findings
It will also improve the styling
Silly example to use in any case, no way in a million years would he be put out by a Corsa. Would be an outrage, Help Hire will sort him out like for like.
I do see the point Fox was trying to make though
Sorry, I've been resisting to post this but you're winding me up.
NO-ONE is saying helphire will give him a bloody Corsa! Jeaz...
Sorry
