This is what happens to BBS LM's when...
A reckless driver intentionally makes contact with your two month new 335is.. I won't go into details of the collision as the driver was fined. Insurance will deal with this, thankfully I'm okay and not at fault.
Just wanted to share these shots as I couldn't believe the damage to the wheel. Cars were almost parralel to each other and speed was about 50-60km/h. I am meeting my ajuster Monday and hopefully this is sorted out as soon as possible. On a happy note, I have been on the stock 19's the last 2 days and just got my ER FMIC installed today running cobb stg2+ with 94 oct. The car just hauls! |

Ouch, I feel your pain and your car's. At least no one was seriously hurt.
Good luck with the adjuster/appraiser.

Ouch that hurts.. are they reps or legit Lms? Cuz I think you have to report to insurance ahead of time that you have $$$$ rims or they won't cover it.. well at least not for the value the LMs cost.

i know how you feel. it happened to me not too long ago. thankfully it was very minor. i don't know about you but i was really upset being that the car is practically brand new. It hurts even more. good luck with insurance hope things work out.

This is a testament to what Authentic wheels do when they go thru impact like yours.
Thankfully you had real wheels, the fakes would have definately cracked or possibly worse. your wheels are done, but they held structural integrity without cracking severely.This was key to your safety, if you notice the inset did not take any damage. Just the barrels. Well done BBS......
