My 88 325ix Got Hit Tonight...

Drivers door is an easy fix for a good body shop.

that rear quarter needs to be cut out and a new one welded in. I need one for my ix as well. My car is a sedan and a new rear quarter is a little over 300. Did the dodge guy stay or did he leave? I dont think it will cost 5k to fix that btw. My car has a lot more damage and needs the whole car painted. and they want 7k and thats with cutting the front off and a new front end welded in.

Your paint will be easy to match for a good body shop. so you should be okay man.


Sorry to hear about what happened man. If you need any parts i have a lot of spare ix parts man.

Well, I was woken up tonight by security forces here on base... to be known that my 325ix was hit out in the parking lot. I even went through the thinking of parking it under the most lit up part of the lot, but I guess that isnt even enough for people to pay attention. The abuser was a dodge ram pulling out, and the guy must have turned to quickly... scraped the shit out of my back fender, side skirt, panel, and even part of the driver door.

USAF security forces asked me how much I estimated the damage to be at, and told them atleast + $5,000. This car has never been in a accident, and still has perfect OEM paint. For a shop to put all OEM parts, and paint back on... I know it wont be easy.

What are things I should look out for, when taking the e30 in for body repair? Is it even possible to properly fix the back fender/body? Sure hope they can paint match the original paint as well. Never been in a accident, so this is a first. And I know its becoming harder to find iX parts.

Any tips, and suggestions are appreciated. Attached below are some pictures.

Thanks,
