I can feel your pain. My X1 2.0D X-drive had a T-bone collusion with an old lady driving an unlicensed Opel Corsa. The X1 was barely three months old when it happened. Previous 118i MSport was paled into from behind by a mini bus taxi. Neither were insured, the old lady and taxi driver.

To those that question speed of impact vs damage. After the car hit me it plowed into a grass field and came to rest well over 100 yds away!!! That's after hitting two cars!!

Ahhhh to be young again... What flavor kool-aid do they serve at you carrier? It's a good thing the body shop and the field adjusters grease each other's palms to avoid this type of BS. 🤫 |

Doesn't look significant but could easily be totaled depending what they find underneath. But the biggest thing that could help is the laser headlights. They run $7-8k!

Could have been someone having a seizure. Happened to me in a bad accident where the dude pinballed off about a dozen cars. Might have been distracted or under the influence, but we don't really know until the facts come out.

I would also be concerned with the paint matching up 100% as that's a tricky metallic color especially in sunlight.
With regard to the speed it wasn't a direct t-bone type impact and a 35' side swipe type hit according to the OP...

This pretty upsetting but glad you made it out unharmed, a testament to the safety and solid construction of these cars. Pray/push this one gets totaled. You can always order a new one.

Guy wasn't having a seizure. Got out and promptly called someone to pick him up. I'm a physician I assure he was neurologicallly sound. Notorious intersection. Police and multiple eye witnesses said he was going 65-70 when he ran red light!

This hit had initial estimate of $27k before they took anything apart. Car was totaled.

I wound up not getting the car back after it was repaired. The insurance companies and attorneys did not communicate well. One company decided to fix it while the other wrote me a check. I did go to the shop to see it out of curiosity and was impressed that it looked new, but I never drove it again. My insurance premiums were not affected since I was not at fault. |

Careful. These guys make initial estimate low, as a superficial damage. The insurance accepts and agree to fix. Then the body shop start working. As they peel the car, they will find more problems and the quotation is being resubmitted while body shop works. In my case they resubmitted about 3 times. Ended up fixed. I think they should do a better estimate work at initial submission, as close as possible to the real cost to fix. It would increase chances to have the car totaled.

Don't sweat the naysayers, they just didn't read your first post properly where you clearly stated 35 dgr angle. What part of the country are you in?
