Well folks I admit it, I drove my z4 into another car today. Was asked to move my car in work and did so in a rush as I was in the middle of something and bang.

My car is worse off.

At first I thought not to bad. Bumper is scraped with black paint on the front / side of passenger side of the front bumper. Wing hadn't been touch.

However close inspection shows the bumper is bent. Not sure much of that is due to it no longer being clipped in place on side and around headlight.

Also the headlight seems pushed into the car and there is a big gap between bumper and light now. Not sure it light has been broken off its mounting or bumper or both. Later it rained and when I cam out to car the light is full of condensation!

So any ideas what I should do? Take bumper off and check clips? Will it be easy to spot if bumper is bent? And can I bend it back? And with lights can I fix / stop condensation. The light doesn't seem cracked so not sure why it's got the condensation
 
Take it to bits and find out what broke. Start sourcing repair parts second hand bits etc. Good luck
 
:(

I would say the back headlight cover popped off... And 1 or more headlight clips broke.... Which you can get fixed with a bmw part which replaces the clips.

Bumper probably can be heater and bent back in shape and then its prob just new bumper clip and respray.

Get a pic up and we can see.

Accidents happen... Least it doesnt sound too bad.
