    Car got jacked up

    Yeah, some asshole thought it would be a great idea to steal my radio and destroy my climate control panel. He didnt touch anything else but the radio, I didnt even notice anything was gone until i had already turned the car on and was starting to back up. I flagged down the cops because they were all over the place. It turns out that a bunch of other cars were hit as well. Two houses down the street also got knocked over in the orgy of theft that was last night. I couldnt care less about my shitty radio, I'm just pissed they destroyed my center panel.

        I had parked the car right in front of my fraternity house, so i thought that with as many ppl that pass by day and night that my car would be safe. Especially because everyone knows thats my car. So of course my dumb ass left it unlocked. I guess its better than broken windows though. They didnt touch anything else though, not my huge cd wallet or my cell phone that was sitting in the console.

              Considder yourself lucky that you left your car unlocked. Your car still would have been broken into even if it were locked. At least now you don't have to replace a window.

                Sorry that happened, if you don't get the panel from Matt I got mine on ebay including a nice 13 button obc for 30.00 delivered.

                  Way to jump to conclusions...

                  I was just asking if it was a Eur0 panel since it would be a nice upgrade from the old one

                      One of those euro 316 panels with the deleted OBC are bad ass. Definately one of my anticipated upcoming mods on my 318is.

                          That sucks man.

                          My radio isn't even solidly mounted. You can pull it out of the center console without any tools or anything. It's a crappy deck so if some one wants it, they can have it. I'd rather have it stolen then serious damage happen like what happened to you.

                            I've had the chance to examine this now and they even ripped the wiring harness out. The insurance company called and they're going to cover it all, so thats good. The funny thing is that the cop handling the case showed up on my porch with a sack of bmw emblems inluding some M3 and M5 emblems asking if they were mine. It seems they caught one of the guys who burglarized another house and found the sack on him. Maybe he has a thing for bimmers?

                              Thats happend to me twice and it sucks hardcore. You just want to kick someone in the teeth. I feel your pain.

                              First time, left the car unlocked, radio stolen, thats it.

                              Second time, locked it, broken window, stolen radio.

                              Which explains why 84e has a untined passenger window :p
