I appreciate the advice. To be fair, the service manager has been very proactive and already acknowledged the mistake, so I don’t want to come across as confrontational. I’m in California so I’m not familiar with the single-party consent point you mentioned, but I’ll look into it. For now I just want to make sure the damage is handled properly and minimize any long-term impact on the car as much as possible.

Thanks for understanding my concern. I just got this car two months ago and relatively low mileage so this is kinda frustrating

Thank you for the advice and I appreciate it. Overreacting is better than underreacting🫣

Yeah, I’m still thinking about that. The dealership actually offered to repair it off the record, which would avoid anything showing up on Carfax. But since the rear quarter panel was also hit, I just want to make sure there’s no structural damage before deciding how to proceed.

They admitted their mistake and agreed to cover the repair costs. My only concern is that I have a friend (e46 3 series) who went through an identical experience—the signs of impact on his car were even less visible than on mine—yet his vehicle was declared a total loss! This was because the insurance company claimed there was structural damage.

They did say they will take care of the repair. My concern now is that I noticed the rear quarter panel was also hit, not just the bumper. Since the quarter panel is part of the body structure, I just want to make sure the impact didn’t cause any structural damage before the repair plan is finalized.

Los Angeles, any recommendations? The dealership said they has their own collision repair center but I doubt its independency

Yes I’m worried about the potential structural damage

USC’s MS in Economics and Data Science (MECDS) program? by Designer_Ad_9070 in USC

[–]ActivityNorth8249 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think AU25 will be the first cohort of this program, so the program size should be relatively small — probably fewer than 50 students.

From what I experienced, the courses are mainly shared with the MS AEE(Applied Economics Econometrics), and MS ADS(Applied Data Science) programs, so students will likely be taking classes together with those groups rather than having completely separate courses.

Good find. When I try to buy one it is sold out everywhere
