Some kind soul decided to reverse into my stationary car at a petrol station today. Ruined the tyre (big gash down the side - went flat within 10 seconds), scuffed/scraped the front left part of the front bumper and dinged the wheel arch panel. It's currently with BMW assistance and will be dropped off tomorrow for assessment. The lady admitted liability immediately and a lovely chap fuelling his car (in a nice RS I might add) watched the entire thing so he offered me his details.
Just out of interest, any idea what kind of repair and costs are involved here? Presumably it's going to be a new tyre, bumper respray/smart repair and whatever is involved to sort the ding out above the arch. Pictures below:
Lady wants to go down the non-insurance route which is all well and good, especially since I would rather not suffer an increased premium due to a non-fault claim. However, I think her attitude may change when a daft repair bill from BMW lands at her door. Off the top of my head I'm guessing:
MPSS: £200 (dealer prices obviously)
Bumper: £100-200 for a smart repair?
Crease/ding on arch: no idea
Labour for checking internals/other damage etc
I can see this approaching £750-£1k surely?
