Ok so my buddy recently crashed his bmw by swiping a high metal curb.
Its about a 2004 model.
All in all, what needs to be replaced is the lower side lip of the fender, 2 hub caps, 2 wheels and possibly 2 tires. (There is no body damage to the doors, only the clip on fender at the bottom) But hes noticed that the car has been leaning to one side.
Assuming that the wheel needs to be realigned apprx. how much would this cost to get fixed through a bmw dealership? Main concern is if there is more to the leaning than just realignment.... :eek:
The more detail the better

An alignment isn't going to fix the leaning of the car. There is suspension damage to the vehicle. It all depends on what is damaged down there, but it won't be cheap at all.

its going to depend on what the damage is and where you take it to get repaired, i remember i crashed a car a couple years back and i had the same problem, at first i didn't think much of it. $3000 later, i was pretty choked. & this was on a chrysler sebring coupe! i can't imagine what your buddy will be looking at

I was going to say around 6k+ if you really want numbers. A fender and front end refinish could cost you up to 4k alone, depending on the extent of the damage and how much you'll be respraying. Parts add up quick - Calgary BMW charges over $800 just to change your brakes :eek:
