slashed tire

[soniczoom5]

Parked my car at a garage this evening to go see a piano concert in Bethesda, MD; came back and turned on the car and the TPMS lights came on; looked at the passenger side tire and it was flat; some ass decided to slash my tire???!!!

People suck..........filed a police report and BMW took care of the tow

Haters gonna hate............

[Vic311]

How do you know they were slashed? any pics

[chuck617]

That sucks, hopefully they went on to get food poisoning later in the night. I usually think I'm pretty safe in a garage, but I guess I am kidding myself. Probably some jealous ass hat.

thats what you get for taking an m3 to a piano concert totally kidding-So sorry people really are unhappy, angry souls

[py0413]

Sorry to hear this. My own car (not the M3) was keyed once parked on the street of downtown and it wasn't even any eye catching ride. Some people just don't ever deserve owning nice things so they come out to damage others'.

Worse I have seen was back in high school. An open top NSX parked in a small shopping mall nearby and a group of kids went by and pouring their drinks(god knows what those are) into the car. That gave me the idea to never have the top down when parked if I ever own a convertible.

What do slashed tires look like? What do people use to slash tires?

This is why we can't have nice things.

i didnt take pics but the metro police did; just a huge gash in the tire, cant disupute that it was intentional; waiting for a quote from the bmw dealership for 4 tires; hope they will give me a good price or else i'll order from tire rack and drop ship...........people suck........VA > MD

[kscarrol]

Sorry to hear OP... Waiting on a quote for four tires, were all four slashed or are they just old and time to replace all four while your at it?

[And1M3]

Sorry to hear this OP but reading this makes me mad. I hate how people have no respect for other people hard earn items. I hope they get what is coming to them.

[soniczoom5]

the rear tires were pretty bad....probably only had 2k miles left on the set so i guess it works out.......its funny; that day i washed the car and thought to myself i would probably need a new set of tires soon.......would have been better if he had slashed all 4 for insurance purposes

[AlteredBe4st]

Sorry to hear that, there are a bunch of assholes out there in the world that are just plain unhappy with their lives and want to make others miserable. Just be happy it wasn't keyed, at least you can replace the tire for a lower cost versus paint.

[soniczoom5]

amen.....had the same thought when i saw the tire....keying would have been worse

Sorry to hear that OP.

Lucky that the bastard stuck only with the tires. It could've been a lot worse.

[soniczoom5]

thanks guys......dealership wants $400 per tire; decided to grab a set of 4 Conti DWS from tirerack for $800; read some reviews and for the money those tires seem to be OK

[positiveions]

Those are the people that blame us for their low economy status. Yeah I came from there, but I worked my ass during the night, and studied during the day to become an RN.
People have no morals, and it's getting worse.
I am sorry to hear about your ordeal.

[blackmist222777]

ugh... that sucks. well, not sure if you pissed anyone off but if not, thats not right. i like to live by the golden rule.

[zamboni]

I hated when OP had no respect for other property.

When I got a nail in sidewall of front tire the dealer agreed to match Tire Rack price. I note that Tire Rack price for all four is $1602 (Michelin PS2 19" - front & back prices vary). So, your dealer was in fact matching Tire Rack!

Dancer...or...?

OP, sorry to hear that. Some people are just sad, worthless bastards. I haven't had anyone vandalize my M3 yet, although there was a guy in a 335 several months ago that drove up on my passenger side and spit on my car. I just laughed at him and then detailed the whole car once I got home.

They are ok at best. Most forum members are disappointed with them. 90% of people run the Pilot Sport or Pilot Super Sport when they have a choice.

Had a set on my previous car (335i), they were terrible. Ditched them after a thousand miles and went back to summer Michelin.
