Car slid on ice and hit a tree, any price estimates?

So during this past crazy snow storm, my car slid between 5-10MPH, and hitting the driver's side on a tree...

Any price estimates *sniff sniff*?

Take it to a bodyshop. An estimate from looking at two pictures is worthless.

Bumper, headlight unit, guard, inner plus labour — $3k+

I quote everything, here in Italy it will cost something more than 2500€, led headlight as first cost cause

UK I'd guess @ a BMW dealer approved repairer, 4-5K

5tony · 02-06-2019, 07:17 PM

$3,900

So I brought it to a body shop.

They said they only use BMW parts...

Quoted everything 5.5-6k.

wow!!! I don't know if It's possibile in your country, but if so I'll ask to another body shop about used parts availability

Why not claim this on insurance? This is what we have it for, it is technically weather related.
