Rhode Island's 85% total loss threshold bill heads to the governor this week. Meanwhile, BMW is expanding its restricted parts list across more models. Both moves signal the same pressure: insurers and OEMs are narrowing the repair window.
FIELD
1. Estimate compliance just got tighter on two fronts
Rhode Island legislature sent bills to the governor raising the total loss threshold from current levels to 85%. Simultaneously, BMW expanded restricted parts eligibility to 3 Series and other models, requiring certified repair centers to source OEM components rather than aftermarket alternatives. Both moves compress the margin between when a car gets totaled and when shops can still control the repair process.
