Flew out on a dual carriage way and now a smashed grille Right hand flaps are broken as well. Any idea of replacement costs? I'm thinking 2 to 300 from a dealer? |

Thanks mate. I'm looking at new oem parts and they are not too bad. My local dealer however wants 200 for the grille plus 140 for the replacement flaps without fitting charge so looking at about 500 all in...

That’s an expensive ‘bird strike’. I feel your pain I remember clouting a pheasant on the A15 just outside of Boston and it took out my near side headlight unit on an E36 318iS. That cost about two hundred and odd quid back then. Didn’t even get the chance to eat the bugger since half of it was strewn up the engine bay, right bloody mess!

I had a similar thing happen to my 330 e91 a week after collecting....I was not happy mind you...nor was the pheasant when I pulled it out the Kidney Grill so I feel your pain.

Got the formal quote today and it will indeed be 500 quid.
Apparently they have to take the bumper off to install the new flaps behind the grille. If it was just a broken grille I'd do that myself as looking at you tube seems reasonably simple. I am actually still tempted to do just that and say leave the actual grille replacement which will save 100 quid all in but then means finding the time and hassle factor so keep flip flopping. |

I'll see what they can do as they would have to take the grille off to change the flaps. |

It also makes me fear I won't be too far behind that cost to repair the bracket that holds the radar and lower inner section of the inner bumper. |
