Perhaps Swampratt is correct in his old fashion ways!

For extra fun, the OLED taillights (that don’t have radar or anything fancy like that in them) in a 2019 BMW M4 GTS will cost you a mere $9300 to replace. I think they cost $15 or $18k at the dealership if I remember my quote correctly.

People are just making insurance claims now when they can't afford to replace these parts on their own dime.

So then insurance rates go up accordingly, and we ALL still incur the cost in the end.

I'm liking my dumb and quite old '06 more and more! Jeeze!

We have 3 2019’s in our fleet. Put a flatbed on one and a utility bed on another. I pulled the bumpers, lights and tailgates off of them before they went to Perfection. At this point they ask if we want the beds back. I’m like ‘no, I just pull 7k worth of parts off of them’.
