          Thanks, Ian. It's an approved BM body shop, so hope it's all sorted.

                Glad you got it sorted, that must have been very stressful

                  Thanks guys. Not got the car yet as it's completing service. Will update.

                  The body shop has good reviews and is authorised by BMW so probably one of the best places to go to. I can post more repair pics here if people are interested. The body shop have been very transparent.

                    The repairs look really good and having the pictures is a huge benefit if you ever decide to sell.

                      Thanks Dave.

                      It's not declared as a write off which would have had a different outcome from my perspective. I spoke to the insurance company and the assessor seemed clued up on market values and loved the M Coupe. Let's hope it serves me well going forward as it's almost half a new car.

                      There's something so unique about these cars, gotta keep 'em :)

                        Glad the car has been repaired and hopefully you’re happy with it when you finally get it back. It’s looking really sharp in the pictures. Everyone’s worst nightmare when you leave the car with a garage and they prang it.

                          Thanks. Having been with me so long, it's really strange how one can get attached to a car :)

                            Car looks fabulous- as it should after original incident. Good result in the end

                              thanks Ian. Only M Coupe owners know how good these cars are.
