sucks

This is why I "brake check" people who tail me. If they tail, I let off the gas and let it coast until it gets to 20ish. Sometimes, I slam the brake a little. Fun on the freeways. No excuse to tail unless you're on the fast lane or if it's a one-lane road.

Sorry for the damage, OP. Good luck with repair.

Damn bro. Sorry to hear. But yeah, qtr panel, bumper and tail light. Maybe some support brackets behind if they are broken.

Dude that's a lot of cosmetic damage to a new car. New rear QP. That sucks. I feel for you. Make sure you get Diminished Value.

Sterling Collision is by far the best in So Cal IMO

Ouch, Sorry to hear. I know how it feels my 2011 335xi got hit a month after I got it. Damage like that you have above will prob run about $7000-$8500. I had a loaner and the side panel got hit from someone taking a fast right turn into me. They had to replace the hole side panel from the front to the back because it is one piece, I remember it being $5000 to fix.
