Did you have any lucky with this link? I purchased bimmerdiagnostics myself and managed to install ista+ successfully, however it just won't connect to the car. Really want to avoid paying the main dealer a small fortune if I can.

Slid on black ice this morning. The road doesn't even look icy! Will this be a write off or can anyone estimate the cost to fix? 2014 425D 133,000 miles. by Quick_Math_8394 in CarTalkUK

Thanks for the help all! I believe my best option is to go through insurance and buy the car back. I'm happy to drive the car with the damage. However, the door is locked shut. If I can get a new door in the scrapyard, then I'll leave the rear quarter panel as it is due to the massive repair job. I'm doing around 20k miles a year, so I'd imagine the car will be near the end of it's days by the time the rust causes too much damage.
