Will My BMW Be Fixed Correctly?
I have a BMW 323i Sport and I love that thing soooo much!
But I recently drove it on a icy day and spun out only to have my rear right wheel hit the curb and bend it. :( The damage was estimated at 7 to 8 thousand, but the closest BMW dealer is 5 hours away!
so it is being fixed by an auto body repair shop where he is going to put in the aluminum suspension himself and the airbags. The thing is is they have never worked on a BMW before!!! Will my car be back to how it was??? Is it something they know how to do???
Hmm Well I wasn't looking to sell it anytime soon and if I did it would go to my parents or something, so I'm not concerned about it losing it's value cause some paper said I hit a curb. What I am concerned about is if everything will be back to normal?
the wheel is all that has visible damage its bent out quite a ways.
Thanks

Ask the tech doing the job. As long as the frame is not bent, changing control arms is a piece of cake and it should be just fine!

Well when a car gets that crunched it will never be the same again and has lost more than half its value most people will nit buy the car from the fact its been crunched. Car people can spot a pre wrecked car quick and with a buyers inspection it will be obvious the wreck was bad. I do not like it when insurance company's fix cars this badly wrecked. At the time the insurance company saves money for fixing it the owner looses a lot of money years down the road.
People think just because the car is a "up scale" car they think it is more complicated and smarter techs trained at BMW are the only ones who can fix the car right. WRONG. TO a good tech ALL cars are the same to him or her. Most techs who require factory training or some sort of tech training school just don't have the gift. A lot of techs are savants. The best tech besides me never passed 5th grade worked on a farm till he was 40 and then jumped right into auto repair of any make and soon was a Uneducated engineer for GM. I would if he was still alive let him buff my cars with a grinder if he said it would work. I trusted that guy.. He never failed.
