My Son James Gets Hit By A Motorcycle In His 02


LimeySteve

Recommended Posts

Poor James is in Hollywood last night , turning left on a green light, traffic blocks the street so they wait for James to make his left turn , all cool but a motorcycle does not stop & ploughs into James , Cops witness it , luckily no one is hurt except the car & bike. His first accident in 3 years of driving his 02 , luckily not his fault , over to the insurance company. We will be looking for local panels , hood , nose & fender , I have grills but the re-chromed kidney is damaged too , Also need a pass side US turn signal housing , I cannot find my spares after we moved shop !

That was no moped!  Must have been a big bike to cause that kind of damage.  Glad (1) rider and driver are OK and (2) it was the other guy's fault, and he has insurance.  Looks like just sheet metal, so a fairly easy repair, and no unobtanium parts were damaged.

 

As a daily 02 driver, I always shudder when I see a bent 2002, 'cause I know it could (and has) happen(ed) to me.

 

cheers

Thanks Mike , we are hoping for a good outcome, the biker has Progressive Insurance, he's only 20 too , just a few months older than James, hopefully in future he'll stop before proceeding through a junction when all the cars are stationary.

If that was his other car the result may have been much worse

 

 

good luck with repairs


hope the insurance company doesn't want to total the car

this might be a good thing

Do a google search on Progressive paying claims, They have a reputation for lowballing client claims. Document everything, they will try to tell you that the car is old and will probably want to total it. Good luck in dealing with them.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
