8500 is not that much.
parts and labor add up real quick on bmws.
i had a 4k accident on a toyota that was nothing!
couldnt believe it was 4k, and just imagine if those were bmw parts.

lol i thought u werent familiar with euro cars from the surporse of the cost of oem bimmer wheels. Just make sure the car is fixed properly before you guy it. 8k accident repair bill is nothing on that car.

^
my moms ML500 was parked and a cavalier crashed right into it at 50 - 60 km ?
repairs were around $30k
replaced 2 factory AMG rims + tires, front bumper, hood, fenders, headlights
mind you, about $12 - 15k was labour
so $8500 for a M5 is nothing, labor probably already took $2000 - 3000

lol ya $8500 on a german car is nothing... my audi had an $8000 accident on it when i bought it, and that was to replace a headlight, fender and a bumper and paint to match... so its really nothing, considering the headlight is $2200...
