Really depends how you gonna go from here. First world problem but fact is fact. No repair can be better than original. Sucks even more when you're not at fault. If the neighbor is willing to pay for it out of pocket then at least it won't hit Carfax. If it does, it's going to leave a ding on value and it stinks. Not telling you to sell it undisclosed but just be prepared you will take another hit when doing so. Better factor that in the equation.

Sorry to see that happen to you.
I recently had my 2020 F83 rear ended (expecting to make a nice profit, selling it when my G83 arrives). I contacted a lawyer and he did inform me that the insurance company of the offending party has to pay for any loss of value on your car. How does it apply to a new car that you're intending to keep, I'm not sure. Certainly the best thing is to ask a lawyer with experience on this type of matter. BTW…SUPER NICE color combo!!!🔥🔥🔥 Enjoy your G80!!!

That's suck bro, I feel for you, but Things happened sometimes and we can't worry about the resale values too much. Just make sure the shop can fix it right and the paint to match, and drive the shit out it, take to track and daily that suckers. Make it worthwhile

I'm mostly replying just to voice my support. I think all of your fellow car enthusiasts (many with car-related OCD) truly share your pain. I commend you for your level-headed response to the situation.
There certainly is no lack of opinions on this thread (as to be expected)! My view on this is that, yes, it sucks, and no, the world has not ended. At the end of the day, you have some cosmetic/non-structural damage. If you pick the right shop, you will never know it happened. In terms of DV claim, I think it depends how much time, effort and potentially money you want to sink in to this vs. just moving on with your life. Given you are going to keep the car long-term, I would just move along. Document the damage and the repair for when you do eventually sell or trade. If you keep the car in pristine condition (which I'm sure you will) that will trump some minor damage that was repaired well in 10 years or so. GL!

FYI I don't think reporting to carfax is related to an Insurance claim. It is the body shop who would/could report it. I got reported to carfax from the body shop I ordered touch up paint paint front -BMW authorized shop. I had to challenge and jump through hoops to get it removed.

Came here just to bitch about the confusion most people make with the term “clean title”, as if all of a sudden a fender bender means the car no longer has a “clean title”, perpetuating this bs that makes cars be worth less than they should.

CARFAX gets their "intel" from a variety of places. But the carrier that's paying the loss cannot assign that car. So he might be okay if he's going through the other carrier. No fault states on the other hand- those are assigned because later the carrier later subrogates. Also if you don't notify the carrier and pay out of packet- it doesn't hit the CARFAX. Just trying to provide helpful- valid info. Nothing wrong here- insurance professionals will back this up too … |

That sucks man.
The diminished value is the real issue long term. I would never buy a car with an accident on the car fax, even a minor one just because I know it would be harder for me to sell on later. Very annoying. My brand new G80 got scratched twice (very minor) by the same valet parking dick head so I feel your pain. They refused to pay out to top it all off |

This might be a stupid question, but once the replacement parts are in and installed can't you just have the PPF removed and then re-applied to the entire vehicle so the new parts look exactly as the rest of the car? Annoying situation for sure, but it's all about perspective.

I had a similar situation couple years ago and I just remember that what bothered me the most was the fact that my m340 was something special and after the damage in the bumper it wasn't......
Surely some ocd here and there but I even remember considering changing the bumper (damaged part) or just let my brand new m340 go (less than 1000 km fully ppf) for that small thing.... At the end I kept the m340 repaired everything at the dealership and learned to live with it.... honestly it was a mental exercise day by day to dont give a f... The way I see now is.... shit happened early in the game, now everything should be OK... |

This is just an accident with no injuries and a realization that the car no longer meets an illusionary standard of purity. Incidentally, the illusionary standard of purity also disintegrates when someone damages the bumper in the supermarket parking lot. Cars can be fixed. Just enjoy the car and leave the rest to the insurance company. |

I'll say for certain that they used to have a department that would solicit body shops to share information. Insurance companies do share info, this is a fact. Fun tip: When ordering a part like a fender from a dealer or online, use a vin that isn't yours. |
