I took the M5 to a BMW CCA Car Control Clinic. It rained some so the dust on the parking lot turned a little muddy.

Now the part that pisses me off. If you're with a group of BMW enthusiasts would you expect this?

I'm pretty sure I know who did it.

Dam, find the car that did it and do the same or worse, that really does scratch the paint though.

Damn my black car gets that dirty from just backing it out of the garage it seems like. 18" wheels throw $hit everywhere and sand & salt stick to everything around here in Indianoplace (Indiana). I'm thinking use a brush and some air craft stripper to that person's car with the words DUMB &SS ME!:D

Peace,

that sucks I would be pissed too. Just the other day I had a dumb a$$ high school kid intentionally peal out in his p.o.s. rusted out truck throwing snow slush sand and rocks all over the side of my car:mad . When I spun around in the road to follow him, he just ran in his garage and closed the garage door. I immediately went to the carwash to see what kind of damage he did, and sure enough there are 5 chips on the passenger side front door. I went back and talked to his mom who basically said prove it, im not doing anything about it. Regardless I went and got quotes to respray the door ranging from $215 to $383 :eek: and took them back over to her. We got in an argument about morals and people taking responsibility for their actions even when there isn't a law forcing them to do so. She told me to leave before she filed harrasment charges so, I simpily pointed out that my assumption that the world contains lots of low life people unable to take responsibility for their actions is true and her son is one of them, she kinda looked at me like how dare you so I continued to add, judging from our conversation he was trained by one of the best. then walked off.:alright

:mad :mad :mad :mad :mad im just so furious, it makes me sick, and theres isn't much I can really do :mad :mad :mad :mad :mad

all people need to do is take responsibility for their actions, I've messed up before, after mudding in my explorer one day I pulled out on the highway and wasn't aware how close a car was behind me and accidently threw mud all over their car but I stopped and talked to the guy appoligized that I wasn't more careful, I offered to wash his car for him and to fix any damage I did the guy understood and let me wash his car and luckily I didn't hurt it but if I had I would have fixed it, I mean come on

oops im kind of ranting here...

Pretty dirty. It's impossible to keep a car clean here. I can't even pull out of the car wash without getting dirty. That is when it's NOT snowing of course. It's kind of funny, when I bought this car it had never even seen rain before. Not to mention it had never sat outside overnight. Now it has this to deal with:

I'd be pissed too. I'd be calling someone out if I had an idea who did it.

However, sure looks like you had a great time at the CCC

Geez, at least it looks like you had a lot of fun.

I say flatten his tires but I'm a little more extreme when it comes to revenge.

You really think the guy had malicious intent? :confused

Come on, it's a joke. :rolleyes

I wouldn't be at all too mad about it. However, if they took mud/dirt and wrote "Wash me" with that, then that's a different story.

Yeah that sucks, good thing your car is white. I'm sure the person didn't know any better.

At work the other day I had just applied the second coat of sealant to my car and was letting it sit in the shade, a customer came up and started talking to me about my car. He kept talking about my paint, how he had an e30 (he didn't actually say e30 of course) when he was young, etc etc. Then as he was commenting on how slick the car was, I watched him run his hand across the hood repeatedly with pretty good force. I could practically hear the marring and I must have looked almost as distressed as I was feeling because that was the end of the conversation. I hate ignorant people.

I have no doubt that he had no malicious intent. As for it being funny, nobody was laughing. When the other drivers saw it their reaction was shock and disappointment. You have to admit this wasn't a wise choice.

I'll give you that one.

But certainly not grounds for revenge or anything like that.

Just next time you see that happen, politely and in a non-OCD way inform the gentleman how that marrs the paint.

Maybe the picture doesn't make it look that bad. :dunno

You should see my trunk...clearcoat scractches all over from the PO. :evil2 Haven't even bothered to try to remove it...probably needs a respray.
