Minor front end collisions can cost big bucks on BMW 5 and 6 Series

Note to owners of BMW 5- and 6 Series cars: Drive with care.

Even slight damage to the front of the car can be expensive. In some cases, insurers are declaring a lightly wrecked car a total loss.

Why? Because the front end of the car -- built with high-tech aluminum, rivets and glue -- can be hard to repair, according to the Los Angeles Times.

The front-end structure, which includes an aluminum firewall and body rails, weighs only 100 pounds. The minimal weight helps BMW achieve an ideal 50/50 fore-aft weight balance for better road handling.

Because tolerances are so tight, if the front structure is bent by more than 1 millimeter in a crash, it must be replaced, not bent back to place, BMW says. The automaker recommends that repairmen be specially trained and use only BMW-certified tools and supplies, such as rivets.

Experts say it can cost an independent repair shop as much as $100,000 for the training and special tools

Interesting. In the small pictures on this page, it passes for an ordinary Asian sedan. Only when you click on a thumbnail to get a better view, do you see the ugliness that is a 5-series. At least they drive great.
