Worksie 22 Report post Posted May 23, 2018 Hi all, The continuing saga of my BMW, not only have I spent slightly more than the purchase price in repairs etc, I have now managed to hit a dog whilst travelling to work. Was doing 100 km/ph at the time, on rural roads, at 3am! Unfortunately the dog died, a dark coloured Labrador. Damage to my car, that I know of, is to the left front of the car. Namely- fog light, lhand lower grille section, cracked lower bumper, paint damage/ cracking to bumper, broken engine under tray, and popped out bumper on left front. After a wee bit of internet searching and stalking, I was able to get the dog owners name, as the son would not give me their name. Luckily for me, after a letter from my Insurance Company, the dog owner forwarded a claim to her Insurance Company, which has resulted in me not having to pay my excess etc. The car is being repaired by Prestige Collision Repairs, in Hamilton, and I am due to get the car back on Monday. What next........!! Graeme 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TermiPeteNZ 1318 Report post Posted June 25, 2018 @Worksie in regards to your repair costs, did you get a MBI with your E60? That can make a huge difference to your ownership costs ... (but you can still spend plenty, just a lot less ) https://www.mtf.co.nz/mtf-products.html#mechanicalBreakdownInsurance Jono is the man to talk to: Jono White 027 224 4295 [email protected] Sorry to hear about the incident with the dog very bad luck for all involved.

Worksie 22 Report post Posted June 26, 2018 No, unfortunately I did not. I thought that being a NZ new car and an example sold and serviced by Coombes Johnston all the way through, it would be ok. Touch wood, it is going well at the moment, just sailed thru another W.o.F. I am hoping I have a trouble free period with it for a while now.
