Bugger

Got the call yesterday

Repair cost £7800.00

Needless to say that is one Z4 not going back in the road.

Not at all surprising wouldn't rule out seeing it drive again though :wink:

That's a shame.

Hopefully you'll get a decent insurance settlement - then you can start looking for a replacement!

Nooooo! I hate it when this happens (had to write off a previous car)...

Hope you can get a good (if not better) replacement!

Blimey, that sounds pretty high if only for the items you previously listed that you identified, or did it include more serious issues?
Did you get an itemised quote?

The quote came from the insurance company. To be honest I don't believe the assessment was done properly.

I popped back yesterday and the car hadn't moved, or the debris surrounding it. At best the bonnet was opened only and a peek underneath.

I am a little bit confused now, unless I'm missing something?
[ref]pauld[/ref] started the thread and now [ref]Pinto[/ref] says the quote came back.
Is this the same car? The original pics certainly don't look like £7800 of damage?

Logic these days is to write the car off unless you can prove otherwise..days of assessors seeing how to make it work / get it back on the road long gone.. cost and skill of an experienced assessor means that its a less epxerinced guy who will write it off then sell it for decent breaker's value and move on..

So if you look at in that frame of mind...what could remotely /possibly be wrong?

Damaged suspension
Buckled / bent energy absorbing front end
Radiators
Damaged accessory drive / devices
Buckled bonnet
Lights

yah de yah.. kerching..
