Ran over ice chunk!!..HELP..

AIDE... J'ai eu une petite course avec un morceau de glace sur la route (ie: problème de faible dégagement) qui a rompu un
pièce en plastique noir sous l'avant de la voiture qui a été boulonné à la partie très arrière du barrage d'air (le morceau dégagé le pare-chocs avant
mais a attrapé cette pièce qui est le point le plus bas sous l'avant. J'ai regardé la pièce et je pense qu'elle s'appelle un "bouclier de protection avant"On dirait qu'il couvre certains
tuyaux de radiateur etc. sous l'avant. Une partie est toujours boulonnée, mais la pièce centrale fissurée se trouve dans mon coffre. Quelqu'un sait-il si je
Je suis correct sur le nom de la pièce?..Il est d'environ 3 pieds de large et 18 pouces de profondeur.

Ils ont remplacé un porte-gobelet cassé.

Merci d'avance et bonnes vacances!...

not sure how or why you would expect bmw warranty to cover something damaged due to "wear and tear"? it's an unfortunate accident for sure, but don't see BMW paying for your accident. I could be wrong tho and maybe your dealership/CA is really a nice guy....good luck


did you look up the piece using realoem.com? might help clarify which piece you are talking about?

HELP...
Warranty??..they did replace a broken cup holder.

thanks in advance and Happy Holidays!...

Warranty does not cover things that are broken off due to collision. Your gonna have to pay out of pocket on this one. If it cost more than your deductible, insurance may be an option but it may not be worth the trouble. Sorry to hear bout your loss though...

These threads should point you in the right direction

No way BMW covers that, but those parts are relatively cheap, even if you broke off all 3 of them. Outer ones are $20 a piece, and middle one $125 I think. Check all 3 carefully before you order anything. They're important since they give the lower bumper its rigidity, plus they play an important aerodynamic role. Oh, and the middle one is designed for the oil cooler, and directs hot air under the car. Easy DIY, so not that bad of a deal. Good luck.

^yea i replaced mine myself , i had hit a cone

Good grief... lift it up, find out what piece it is, tell insurance company or if you dont think you can lift the car up by yourself then take that to a shop and have them do it. If I was there I"d hold your hand I"m sure its covered under insurance lmao...

I broke mine and I don't know how. I was very pissed off when I saw it last week. I been extremely careful with it. I know it was not done during ED since I drove it careful and have been careful here so it make me wonder.

Good thread.

Thanks for all the input....it is number 20 indeed on the attached link above!..you guys are always helpful...the warranty comment was sort of a joke...but why not try...

part number 51757899820

My wife hit a curb stop and ripped that puppy out. We paid for it out of pocket and I never considered BMW paying for it.

^they wont , they quoted me $450 + tax to replace with labor

i bought it and put them on myself , saved a ton of cash

Sorry to hear that. Where were you driving? I just ordered a lip should make Minnesota winters interesting.

DB...no biggie...I was driving down a one way one lane alley...thought I could clear it. Let me see the lip after you have it on.
