So it should be somewhere between the trade-in price and the selling price of a similar-age used car. You could call up a few used-car dealers and ask what their trade-in price would be. You could also check the pre-owned prices of BMW dealers. Ingress is having a pre-owned fair this weekend starting from tomorrow.Advice from BMW is that depreciation is 20% straight-line? See for yourself whether they apply that to their pre-owned pricing. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Incidentally, I hope you can tell us which insurance company you're using. Insurance companies vary quite a bit in terms of their claims policies, and it pays to know which ones to avoid. :wink:</blockquote>
