- 666m Wheel - $1.2k
- Control Arms - $700
- Drive Shaft - $6k
Major Components Total- ~$17,700 not including all the miscellaneous items like screws, bolts, and a bunch of other stuff.
Dealer quoted me- $23k in just parts minus labor. With labor, it was looking at ~$30k
I am really good friends with the owner of an indy shop and got the whole job down to just ~$18k
This is just my experience, but I feel you can use this as a worst-case scenario reference as you may not have damaged as many components as I have.
The parts and labor pricing will also likely vary as I got quoted in November of 2020 in the Seattle area. Hopefully, this gave you some helpful insight, and I can empathize with you on this, it sucks but you'll get through it!  |
What this guy said. I was there once...and now multiple M cars later and a bit more ah lets call it "wisdom" also I have a VERY healthy amount of respect for what the designers but more importantly the engineers at Munich and Stuttgart and others have put together. Don't speed on public roads, don't turn off traction control (esp in the F8x series)....too much torque for the chassis gets you in trouble and very easily loss of control quickly IF you don't know what you are doing. My '15 M3 after being tuned by an ESS flash that I almost NEVER used launch control because it was almost uncontrollable at the rear despite my HDE and M School experiences and skill....yes I've taken a bunch of driving schools with BMW and Porsche to improve my skills and as they call it "talent." and the best thing I've learned is I am about 6/10ths maybe 7/10th on my best day to what these cars need to keep em on the road on a good day. Having driven also in Germany on the Authobahn and have few taxi rides and these cars can do amazing things in the hands of the right driver trained appropriately and with the correct amount of experience which I am humble enough to acknowledge now is something most os us in the US on the public roads lack and which are roads are not even built for! Something not included in BMW's advertisements! So remember in these cars...you will more than likely run out of the later "talent" first before you do road and the car does performance on its end! Each plays a part right?
LOL.
So to the OP...so sorry to hear about your incident aka accident. Sounds like the car got away from you in poor road conditions and physics took over along with geography unfortunately. Agree with the above posts on your pics posted and likely need for an insurance adjuster to take a serious look at the car. Best case you only get away with a wheel/tire/control arm replacement but honestly BMW M makes some good parts and engineering..race ready stuff so the amount of force it takes to snap some of these parts doesn't do "nice" things to things like suspension components and frames. Doubt that is all you have damaged...if so you are VERY lucky....at worst you're probably looking at a $20k plus repair from a certified shop...less from someone else. To give you an idea my son's '14 428ix just went to an adjuster for a self-pay quote for just a bumper respray, PDC sensor fix (front) and to take out dents from both doors and a quarter panel after a bad encounter with a metal privacy gate and his inattentiveness.....$4k easy repair. No body work and only part was a $255 PDC sensor to replace. You've got more than that! I had 2 flats on one of my Audi's after hitting road debris...$3.5k almost for OEM wheels and tires ($1k almost for PS4's and $1200 each a rim).
As said it will be costly unfortunately....either way as many have noted. Keep us updated and hopefully it works out best for you!
