Leave the car for 10 minutes and come back to find this.

Was parked on the side of the road and did not notice when i came back but only when i got home.

Looks like both bumper and bonnet will need to be changed along with the parking sensors which are no longer working.

Any ideas what something like this will cost.

I have a £3000 excess on my insurance so it will not be worth claiming.

The grills were pushed in and i just put them back in place to make it look a little tidy.

No sign of the person that did it.

Ouch! So sorry to hear...some people are just horrible.

dmw16 · 07-12-2013, 05:14 PM

Did they do something to the roundel? It looks funny.

The bumper has white paint on it so it looks like someone drove in to it.

geneatals · 07-12-2013, 05:29 PM

Check the spot you got hit for a camera, if yes then call the police and check the video and grab the plate number and file a report. my friends Audi S5 got hit and found the person who hit the car, because a camera spotted the guy would hit the car, then filed and everything turned out to be fine, sorry to hear this. people now in days honestly don't care...

Will drive up there tomorrow to see if there are any cameras and need to pop over to BMW also to get a quote on fix. Thank you.

X2Board · 07-12-2013, 06:57 PM

With all the cameras you Brits have looking at everything, I would be surprised if this dastardly act wasn't caught on video.

it'll likely be 2-3k depending on where you go.

DrakeKemper · 07-12-2013, 07:03 PM

This might cost your deductible in worth.

Oooh yeah hopefully it's that cheap. Sorry to hear that OP

freeman727 · 07-12-2013, 08:19 PM

This type of thing happened to me in April this year. Just sucks. Luckily my hood wasn't banged up. The bumper and paint costed $1700, my deductible was $500.

Vic311 · 07-12-2013, 08:37 PM

Exactly why I never use my M3 when I shop. Those parking lots are just trouble waiting to happen..GL OP
