Hail VS my 118i mpack: 1-0 ...

Every panel damaged... Going crazy now... Doors, roof, trunk, hood, sidepanels,…
Everything is insured but the garage said the bumps in the roof and hood, but for sure a few in the side of the roof (part which begins on the hood en ends on your rear wheels) are too deep to get them out so they will probably have to cut out those parts, weld them back together and repaint… OMFG I don't want this

I once shared hotel with a bunch of people who worked full time fixing damage like that. They travelled from place to place in Europe, paid by insurance companies. Each guy could fix a couple of cars per day, and they sometimes had 100+ cars to fix. They go in from the back side, knocking the dents flat. After they are finished, it is very difficult to see that the car used to be damaged.

Does insurance cover this or is it "act of God" aka "we are cheap bastards who won´t cover it"?

Yikes! That's bad. Certainly covered by insurance here in Australia, but damage like that might lead some insurers to classify it as a statutory write-off.

They can only send an expert to the garage in about a month and the repair is estimated by the end of the year. They have too much work repairing all damaged cars... Id i know what the insurance expert sais, i'll let you guys know the verdict.
