It is stressfull in the street of Hongkong. I could not imagine how you could even drive those monster 550i around town . Not only the lane are tiny and the fact there are lots of car in hongkong, but also you have massive pedestrians.
Maybe this incident tells you to sealed the rear bumper reflector 'holes' when doing repaint |

Not, just scraped the paint off. Not major damage. Just a hassle!

When the world gives you a lemon.. make lemonade?
Or maybe he didn't see you because you covered up the red reflectors.. anyways the accidents are getting more minor -that's an positive trend, right? |

Don't think so. The guy said that he was picking up something he dropped on the floor and didn't see me. Idiot! Who in the world would do when you are merging into traffic..........

Good news mlai, nowadays shop can touch up minor paint scratches and you can never noticed the repainted part. Has that idiot paid for your repair?

wow fixed so fast.. see nothing to get unhappy about
now you next accident is going to be so minor, you can remove it with your own hand (maybe a child will 'stick' your car with their ice cream cone ) |

Yes. He paid in a heart beat. He was expecting a claim to the insurance, north of HKD7K. Only costed him HKD1800........

No way! For a minor scratch, going to the dealer is way over kill not only because of costs, but also bmwhk will likely take everything apart, re-inspect, bake, paint, mandatory dry overnight to a day.... etc. Takes 3-4 days to complete the tiny repaint of the scratch compared to 1/2 half.
Got it done at WK.

BMW/Benz paints are pretty well available. I asked BMW service and my sales. They said that while the shortage may affect new car color availability, BMW Service still have stock piles of sophisto gray for repair use........ So there really is no issue getting the paint.
But less popular colours, however, are more difficult to find paint......
