E90 Hit while parked

E36E46E90 · 02-18-2007, 11:55 AM

I was hit in a parking garage - rear bumper corner. On the surface, it looks like a bunch of scratches and a little cracking. Anyone know the liklihood that there is damage underneath, i.e. fender or other components? I've attached pictures. Also, does anyone know if this is simply a paint job or bumper replacement by looking at the pics? Thanks in advance.

Looks like a new rear bumper is in your future. Can't tell much else from the picture.

that's what that lawyer did? that's hit and run. he didn't even have the decency to leave a note? Guess he was just hoping to get away with it. New bumper....///M style.

Some people are just lame, sorry about your car.

Sorry about the misfortune. Looks like a new bumper will be needed, but most likely there is not any damage underneath.

I bet you will get a new bumper cover. Here is how the car looks like without the rear bumper . . .

Once the bumper cover is removed, they can inspect the metal bumper frame and the pieces underneath.

Thats just not cool....I'd be on the phone calling the cops and demanding something to be done.

What are those wires running above and down the bumper? Is that PDC?

Yes, that is the PDC harness and sensors.
