Hook up the Bimmer still? - United Bimmer Community

**CAPiTUL** · 05-29-2006, 06:47 PM

So, as you are aware, my car was involved in a stupid auto accident. It will probably be a good month before I get it back. The quandry I am thinking of now is whether or not I should bother hooking it up once I get it back. Do you think it would be worth it? I mean, I wanted to do some things to it before the wreck but am uncertain if I should bother doing it, now that it has been involved in an accident. It's almost like the car is forever blemished. What do you think? Would you still hook it up once it is back from the shop? THink it would be worth it?

I think that depends on how good a job they do on the repairs. No sense thinking too much about it right now, I'd say your feelings about it will change later anyhow. Right now, it might feel like the car is forever blemished, but when it comes back from the shop, you might feel a renewed sense of pride and ownership; like that "it survived and it still kicks ass!!" kind of feeling. So for now, I'm not gonna vote

If it doesnt have frame damage.. keep it forever and mod the feck out of it

THat's how I feel, the hit wasn't that big a deal..., who cares

sounds like you only damaged things that can be repaired. so i say yes hook it up.

**CAPiTUL** · 06-02-2006, 10:20 AM

I believe I will. I just like to get people's insight, when possible. Makes me consider things more thoroughly. 　ありがとうございます！
I am hoping they replace the parts w/OEM stuff, though, and not aftermarket.

they should replace with OEM unless you were to give them parts yourself I think... At least that is what a friend of mine did, maybe it also depends on your insurance company.
