    E30M3 = Idiot Magnet *rant*

    So today sucked!

    I park my M3 in front of the shop near the sidewalk for advertisement like we usually do with our nice cars. Some random fool comes in asking if we can make a key for his Mercury minivan and I direct him to a place down the street that makes keys. I turn around to talk to the tech who just walked in the office and he starts screaming to go stop that guy and I was wondering why. . .he only wanted a key. He runs out and stops him and I look at my car and he rear ended it and tried to run away! The bumpers deformed, paint all cracked and scuffed!

    I then go out and talk to him and he said its his moms car and he doesnt have a licence (hes 40ish) but his mom is insured so I get all his and her info (if its real). He then asks if its going to be less then 500$ and he could stop by and bring me that amount when he gets paid next. . .yeah.

    Also a couple weeks ago some chick who works next to us who always speeds around our lot is pissed off from something at work and throws it in reverse when leaving and slams into the front of my car! It just scratched the corner so I didnt make a big deal, since she didnt have insurance and she only makes like 7$/hr. This happened in our side lot where employees park and its huge so hitting another car is only capable by morons!

    Looks like my bumpers are just prone to get nailed from other bumpers hmh...sorry for the rant Im just pissed my lovely car is getting fucked up.

    You have a bunch of weird links in there.

    Also, that's what bumpers are for. Bumping. Be glad it's not frame damage. Always sad to see an M3 get damaged, though :(

        These guys are driving without license and insurance?

        Tell them you're going to call the cops unless they pay for the damages they incurred immediately.

        Where in Northern Calif. are you?

          This happened to me several times in my M3. I finally bought a second car to stop daily driving my M3 as there are way too many morons out on the road these days.

              Driving that stretch on 880 South between Oakland and SJ is brutal.

              Everyone does 80 MPH, tailgates you, cuts in and out of traffic and the occasional ricers racing and weaving in and out of traffic at 100 MPH+, endangering everyone with their idiocy.

              I used to drive from San Rafael to SJ every Friday night to stay the weekend with a lady friend and drive home Sunday night.

              My 325es was stolen near 101 and Tully about 3 years ago.

              Not trying to talk bad about SJ, but I didn't have the best of luck there, but did meet some good people.

                Big + to M3 Ryan's approach. I refuse to daily anything remotely desirable to me anymore.

                OP, at least you did not sustain damage to any metal panels, the plastics are easier to write off in situations like this (at least more so than something like a rear quarter panel). I have a nice, warm garage free of moronic drivers if you are looking to adopt out. :D

                  Haha, I have a car port where I live and the M3 is staying in there from now on.

                  My question is if its too late to file a police report? I should have there and then and when the insurance operator asked if I wanted to but I didnt think it would be an issue. I just dont want to have to pay 500$ for some dipshits mistake.

                      About 8 years ago the wife and I got out of the Bay Area ( San Jose ) after living there for 20 years. I cringe everytime I have to go down to visit the wifes family ( and I like them ).

                      Sorry to hear about your ride, don't cut those fuckers ANY slack when they fail to show any responsability for thier actions.

                          Eh, man that sucks. Especially the fact that douche #1 attempted to drive off after hitting you car. People's stupidity never ceases to amaze me. Somehow I can't see this same shit happening over in Europe (or at least as often as it does over here.)

                            You might still be okay filing a police report for the most recent event (I seriously doubt you'll see much traction on the event with the broad from a couple of weeks ago). The whole deal sounds a bit shaky at best though, especially considering the blatantly sketchy information you received from the perpetrator. Hate to to play the after the fact game, however, you really should have called the police on the spot as soon as he laid out his "deal" on you.

                            Garage>carport, and I am a tender automotive caretaker :). But seriously, best of luck to you.

                              #1 Buy a daily beater, otherwise you'll be putting up with shit like this forever.

                              #2 Don't cut fuckwads without insurance any slack, call the cops to report the accident when it happens. Get their asses off the streets. Driving is a paid privilege, not a right.
