Man, remind me to never borrow anything from GTAM, especially definitions. I suppose the OP will find out if this friendship is boat he wants to sail on.
Wouldn't that be delightful if the BMW in question was a boxer? I think so.
Oh my weary internet friend why you always trying to trick me? Hasn't the rental company already acknowledged it's responsibility by having "in the event of" strategies in place? That is there duty, they recognize it and hence, you don't drive away without a walk around inspection and signing documents. Now there is an agreement in place.
OTOH, you could lend your brand new truck to the hard working devil may care family tree and yell at clouds til your head explodes.
I'm outta this thread before my head explodes.What a bunch of crap.
Jeezuz!More self entitlement.Shouldn't be any thinking about this.Fix it for him and don't give him a chance to say "well,it's old now and you didn't mean it".That's kinda what i said to a family member who wrecked my new truck,thinking they would have the respect to get it fixed.They didn't and will never get any more help from me.
Nice guys finish last.And retain their nice guy status.The others are pathetic

At the end of the day and personal experience. I'd fault myself for lending out the vehicle. It's a risk as a lender I take.
I lent my vehicle to my babysitter to take my kids for their swimming lessons. I was away for work. Well she found a yellow post. I didn't make it her pay for thr damage. I could but at $1900 from a legit shop and possibly of losing an excellent babysitter. Hmm quite honsetly good reliable child care is hard to find.

Some great advice in this thread and thanks for helping me see some options. I'm still putting together numbers before asking my bud how he wants to proceed.. For all the lessons on morality here, if he wants dealer to fix it, that's of course what I'll do, but I think there's some better moves.. It'll be up to him.. Also, I did tell him I dropped the bike the same day.
I'll let you guys know how this works out.
Hey Eric,
How did it go?
quickly found parts cost approximately
Peg - 95
mirror - 146
bar end - 55
turn signal - 40

these are OEM from BMW in US funds
and you can put them on yourself, no need for dealer to do any work for those 4 items...

You just priced out the cheap parts!
Trim Panel, top right: $669
Trim Panel, lower right: $371
Rear Lateral Part, right: $216
All prices in USD, so total = $1900 CDN (1.34 exchange rate + 13% Ontario taxes)
Add shipping and you're probably sitting at $2K even.
Yes, use a US source for OEM parts. If it was my bike damaged I'd expect an OEM repair, not a hack job to minimize cost to the guy that dropped the bike.
