Maybe you are not in business of new M6! I bet this car costs over 50k if can be repaired in any BMW certified shop. The whole front suspension is aluminum, the hood is aluminum, the fenders are plastics... non of them are repairable and you have to add bumper and possibly a lot engine components and tons of sensors, airbags, interior damages caused by airbags popping up, etc ... as a reference, an slightly rear end accident costs over 10K for these cars!
