Last summer, I-93 South in Wilmington, MA. 4 lanes, rush hour, I was in the far right lane, doing ~40 mph following flow of traffic.
Tractor trailer was coming up on my left and moved over on me. His front wheel hit my 135i rear wheel pretty hard, I was pitched sideways, counter steered and pulled over. Had just put new Koni Sports the week prior. Car was mint.
The (Canadian) driver pulls over and gets out and sheepishly tells me he didn't see me. Thankfully he told the State Police the same thing.
Body work was only $4K, but with suspension and drive line damage (everything was bent, hard to see the camber on picture below) they stopped counting at $10k.
I would have preferred to buy back and fix, but I could no longer get collision on a totaled vehicle (at least in MA). I bought a CPO M2 with 9K miles and fought them on the payout until I got a bit over $15K (they originally offered $11K)
