well people im getting my fr repaired, the insurance valued it at £15k and the work is gonna cost around £6.5k. so im buzzing just hope they do a good job. is anyone aware of anything to look out for?
should get it back around march 8th.

As an ex insurance assesor yes lol! You should be fine its the parts that will cost on the repair just make sure the panel gaps look even and level and its not various shades of colour.

As will says, just give it a really picky walk around - inspect ALL the areas where it has been repaired and do NOT accept it as ok until you are 100% happy with ALL of the repair. That said, it will probably be fine so roll on 8th of march

i would make visits to see how progress is happening to let them know its your pride and joy

Great News

Good news! When you get it back, be picky! Pick anything out that you're not entirely happy with. BUT, don't panic if you don't find something straight away, as a good bodyshop will stand by their work for more than the hour you collect it, so if you do go away and realise you're not happy with something don't be afraid to shout!

Good job matey Also make sure that if they replace something make sure its genuine and new and that if you have mods on their or replacement parts that equivalents are fitted

most insurance repairs come with a 1-3 year warrenty these days anyway, you'll be fine!!

cheers guys, i spoke to the garage and they said it will be genuine parts.
I will have a good look round it when it comes back, i have every confidence in them thou as they repaired my astra a few years back when i tw@ted a kerb and turned it in to the delorian.
It came back fine then!

Just don't rush them, it may take a while but don't call them all the time to ask how it is going etc, might be worth a trip to the body shop it is going to and see what they are like, trust me my 328 was repaired after a big smash and they totaly fu**ed it up, they blamed me rushing them because I called twice near the due date

Don't give them any excuses, you should be fine, as long as it does not go to Ryland in Cardiff LOL

BMW recommened them here in South Wales, Ryland is the name of shame I now know, those who have used them will probably know how shite they are also, body shop doors were open when I asked to see the body shop due to shite paint job on my car and the fact they had sprayed my rear alloy and tyre as well
"it is a bit warm for the lads in the summer" foremans words not mine....

I am sure your car will be fine, I probably got what I deserved for insisting the car was repaired by BMW
