OP, what exactly happened?

On the surface looks minor, but yes if wheels have had a side impact and something is bent...not sure how they have come to £6.5k though with a simple look at the bodywork? Unless Ruby black paint contains gold flake!?

Would be a shame to lose it, keep it, take the money, and repair? You will have a nice documented history of it should you sell it on? And Coupes being rare as they are, someone will always snap up a cat car at a good enough price.

Buy it back off them, simple

They’ll probably want to replace any item that has the slightest damage. I just had a slight incident in a polo the other day, and the estimate to replace a headlight, and replace the front bumper is nearly £1800 from an approved garage…

I appreciate there is more damage than the picture shows, but it seems mad that the car has been written off, good luck I’m your search for a new one

This is ridiculous to have been written off! Hope you can buy it back!

Sucks to see the damage and that it’s a write-off

This happened to mine last year - someone at work wasn’t looking where they were going and reversed into it hard enough to push the whole car sideways into the next parking space

I had it trailered to the alignment shop that always deals with my cars - still the same as previous setup… nothing bent or broken

New panel from BMW Germany, and a full respray and it’s better than previously

It’s hard to see how yours is a write-off…. But hopefully you’ll get something figured out soon - good luck
