I was thinking about it the other day...during the sharp turn on this unfamiliar road, I braked and skidded. maybe if i had kept the gas the DSC would have bailed me out? i don't know, throughout the entire accident the DSC sign didn't kick in, so I assume that when I braked i did the wrong thing because the computer couldn't tell I was in trouble. More driver error than the X5's fault. It's a great car, I can't wait to get it fixed.

I've had my X5 for about 8 months now, and I just recently ran into an accident on a bad road in bad conditions in which the x5 hit a tree and crumpled the front about a foot. The engine looks fine, and it seems a lamp and the radiator have to be replaced. Besides that, do bodyshops generally do good work on fixing up new cars? Will it look like new and run just the same? Or does the car drive differently afterwards? Thanks in advance.
