Ran over some debris on the freeway late at night. Almost identical symptoms as you have.I had to replace the underbelly shield (https://www.ecstuning.com/Search/Sit...820/ES2763340/) What's holding up that are these hangar-type supports called Bowden cable units https://www.ecstuning.com/Search/Sit...4393/ES206662/.

Thanks. You're right. After pulling apart the bumper yesterday I ordered the underbelly shield for significantly less than BMW quoted me. Ended up buying a couple trim pieces that were ripped. I managed to epoxy the fender together where it had cracked and you can't really see any difference from the right and left side. Just hope it holds up to driving. Now I'm contemplating pulling the trigger on a Euro style bumper from IND for about 1300$. What a mess!

Put on my new bumper on Thursday along with the under hood cover and some MS wheel spacers

better than ever now!

Looking great Tewie! But you forgot to sort new air-bags mate, must be a bummer to drive with....

Sorry picking up a very old thread. I got the same problem except was told it was like that before I buy the car.

Do you have a photo on where the fender is epoxied? Just want to get a sense of how much work/time to plan for it.

Thx

truthfully, you should be able to get insurance to cover this if the damage $$$ is high.

I dont get why doing down an exit to the parking garage is meant to demolish a car. A very critical part of our government sure, lets create some spike strips to prevent someone from getting to the NSA. But, oh lets create things which for the 1 in 1000 people who try to scam a parking garage out of payment, lets screw the guy who makes an honest mistake, I dont get it.
