Why I Hate the LIE...

Izero · 06-07-2016, 10:18 AM

Happened on Saturday at about 8:20pm...

Had to have my car towed alllllll the way back to NW NJ.... now it's time to start looking for good body shops that use OEM parts, that is if they don't total the car out... :-/

TBN54 · 06-07-2016, 10:26 AM

Good ole' city living.

So glad I moved out of NYC.

seepete753 · 06-07-2016, 11:26 AM

Wow that blows. Sorry man. Good news is if they don't total it maybe you can pick up an M-Sport rear bumper and an exhaust if your looking to upgrade.

Good luck with the repairs.

Shop shouldnt matter about oem parts as long as its a good shop. Most want to use oem. Its getting an insurance company to pay for oem if aftermarket are availible at a reduced price

kisarci · 06-07-2016, 01:21 PM

Damn i'm sorry that happened man. I HATE the LIE too. I feel like a lot of people in this area suck at driving. I always see people making stupid and dangerous maneuvers as I constantly shake my head. I hope everything works out in your favor man. Good luck.

Not the first time I saw something happening right before the Grand Central Pkwy exit.

PichaDis11 · 06-07-2016, 03:16 PM

Moment of opportunity for MTECH rear?

Sucks ass man. Hope all works out well.

idrift4wd · 06-07-2016, 03:30 PM

car is probably a total loss

rear bumper, rear body panel, trunk and exhaust will do it.

Lshaw · 06-07-2016, 03:58 PM

Literally just saw a crash yesterday on Grand Central. Some idiot was trying to pass in the exit lane, little did he know that the lane was at a standstill....Tried to cut back left and boom!

First to waze it and shake my head. haha

I think I may not get another BMW if they total this car out completely.... so we'll see what happens....

tofu? · 06-08-2016, 09:12 PM

don't hold your breath for a write off, even with minor quarter panel damage.

NightStalker · 06-08-2016, 11:57 PM

Not totaled.

And I avoid LIE rush hour time. If you are worried about reputable repair shops then deff get in touch with Martino Auto Concepts.if you search on this forum they Have a very high reputation.

Also you'll most likely have the option to get an m sport rear.

Goodluck.

Izero · 06-09-2016, 08:40 AM

Martino Auto Concepts is in NY... I live in Northern NJ. I need a reputable shop near me....

redline2001 · 06-09-2016, 02:54 PM

Coleman Auto body shop was once recommended but I believe the manager has moved on. Don't know if they are still reputable

They were always sleazy. They just had a large fanboy following from the e90 crowd because they'd go in with a fender scratch and come out with a full paint job and mtech body kit

So many stories about people getting jerked around by Martino that got swept under the rug.
