If you were able to drive it home then its likely it won't get totaled.

Update. Original shop quoted me 6.5k in repairs. That was changing the knuckle wheel bearing, lower control arm and steering rack.
Had it towed to a shop whose owner worked for BMW for 20 years. He was skeptical about my original quote. He replaces both control arms test drove it ran diagnostics and all the codes were gone. He said it drove perfect. Those repairs costed me 1,500. I love honest repair shops. He is located in Mequon Wisconsin just north of Milwaukee if anyone is in that area. |

I am not sure it was just two control arms. That was the majority of it. Those parts are around 400 each I believe. I think I remember him saying something about three things were done to it. I am not complaining. Just happy it was nothing major.

I agree. The other garage would have likely charged you the same whether it needed everything or not.

Just hope that the engine cradle isn't damaged. Then the fix is going to be significantly higher -- and a part that is ordered from Germany -- oh, those lead times....

Stands for M Dynamic Mode. Here is BMW's description: "Another way to boost driving pleasure option is with the M Dynamic Mode (MDM). This gives the vehicle higher lateral dynamics and lateral acceleration for controlled drifting. However, if the car begins to turn too far, the DSC will switch back on, power to the engine is reduced and braking pulses are activated via the vehicles sensors."
It's basically a less intrusive Form of traction control.
