Your M and collision repair
Your 1997 BMW M needs collision repair? Send the details, and we reply within one business day. Collision repair covers panels, bumpers, paint and, when needed, frame and structural work. Repairs can go through an insurance claim or be paid directly; tell us which in your request.
Size and finish
As a small car, it is a straightforward size for this work. Premium cars often have more trim and sensors to work around; mention any options in your request. NHTSA lists it at 4.43 m long. It fits most condo and driveway spots. NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
How to request it
Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. You can add a rental to the same request. We reply within one business day with a time and a price.
Keep your week on track
A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. While it is repaired, rent from us: an insurance replacement rental when the repair is a claim your adjuster approves, or at our usual rates. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
What goes into a quote
If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price. We price the job before we start, never after. Two cars of the same model can need different work, so we quote each one.
Looking after it afterwards
Ask us when the next visit would make sense for your car. New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax.
What to bring
Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim.
When the car is ready
If the work runs longer than planned, we let you know and you can keep the rental. We call or write when the car is ready, and you collect it or we arrange the handover.
Send a request
Ready when you are: send the details of the car.
