that some jackoff messed with my M3

beyond pissed ATM. Anyone know a shop in austin that will fix this up right?

EvenSteven · 10-27-2013, 12:11 PM

It's just a bad month for M3s in general, it seems. Mine and two others have been having similar bad luck this October. Did we drive over a black cat's path at some point? Don't remember driving under any ladders, either.

BMW of Austin refers everyone to Berli's Body, and they got several shout outs on this board last time someone in Austin was in your predicament.

How bad are the scratches, can they just be touched up?

Techjunkie666 · 10-27-2013, 12:33 PM

Sorry dude, that sucks. +1 one on Berli's Body too. There is one on FM-620 called caliber collision repair. I got a scratch that like repaired there for a reasonable price.

Where did this happen? South side?

BMW Fanatic · 10-27-2013, 12:34 PM

Man that sucks. The guy will get his karma in return for sure.

Either use dr colorchip if you are ok with it or may have to redo the whole bumper. Ive had to do mine but for the front. Maybe they can do a spot job if they are good. Black is easier to work with.

zilker. Not exactly the neighborhood of hit and runs.

I'll get them to check it out. part of it looks pretty deep and I don't think touch up is an option.

Tora · 10-27-2013, 02:56 PM

+1 on Berli's - Great shop!

EvenSteven · 10-27-2013, 03:33 PM

If you have to do the whole bumper, it will be a good 5 bills.

pkimM3r · 10-27-2013, 04:15 PM

Crap: just glossed at my wheels to look at what type of project my wheel repair diy would be and then i saw that some valet idiot curbed my driver side?! Oh well its not too bad and now instead of diying one wheel i have to diy three of them.

Guess i can start today by cleaning and sanding it down a bit first.

N1tr0gen · 10-27-2013, 04:47 PM

sucks man ( I'm so paranoid about all that stuff as well.. I never valet my car, wish I didnt give a damn..

LarThaL · 10-27-2013, 04:57 PM

Where was it parked?

gymtime · 10-27-2013, 05:03 PM
