Cigarettes are bad for me!?!?! I thought they helped my cardio!!!

Hey there 12. Your feathers rustled?

What makes you the authority to tell me what I can and can't say and where I can say it? Last time I checked you were not an admin, a moderator, a sponsor ... you're a nobody. Repeat with me: NOBODY!

So until you become one of those, I'm going to say exactly what I want, and where I want to say it.

ps. Yeah, it really matters what car I have to be able to comment that 1 piece headlights are junk. That's like saying I have to work for the FDA to know that cigarettes are bad for you.

If you say he's nobody because he has no status, then you should heed your own words. According to your logic if 1 piece headlights are junk, then so are your DDM's because their also from Taiwan.

sub'd for dumb headlight discussion and the e36 equivalent of Where's Waldo.

..........and the bid deal is what??????? OP isnt gonna add anything better. Oh well, enjoyed the train wreck picture, that was worth it.

AAAAAAAAAAAALL ABOOOOOOOARD!?!?!?!?!?

Well, my car was found by the police! The drivers side widow regulator broken and window ajar, my new battery, 6 CD changer, and BMW tool kit missing, ignition was not damaged as the thief found the key under the seat.
Expansion tank empty, and the gas tank had a hose hanging out the fill neck. Body was not damaged. Car was towed by insurance company to a BMW dealer. They will do diagnostic and fix everything related to the theft, less my deductible.
Will give update on what they find.

[King Hax]

ok so no insurance fraud as originally suspected by some people lol

[Rawfulstomp]

hmm so the thieves only stole things from the trunk and some gas, not too much damage I guess.

[muppetburger]

Car theft is why I place a club on my car and have a kill switch running from the fuel pump to cut off all fuel. Its easy to run a switch from the pump motor to your dash console area

"expansion" tank empty... Wouldnt a blown engine costing 3k total it along with the door, cd player and such?

Well played sir, well played, lol.

Editors note: In case if some of you think I am scowling over here in my corner, I really dont care what the OP did or didnt do. As long as the police dont come knocking on "my" door and "my" insurance doesn't go up, carry on!

[jmo69]

I don't mean to highjack the thread, but did you say 65$ for the key at the dealer? I need to buy one and the stealership here says it's 250$...

That's because you have an e4m6, the master on those are at least $250, more like $285 because of the remote and NiCad battery built in.

haha well it was suggested by a bunch of other people, I'm just curious as to how this turns out.

[crustybmw]

I would deny the claim just because the key was in the car. Not that I would want someone to suffer if it was in fact legit, but, thats second to the keys in the car and engine running, and, if I am correct, thats against the law in itself. Why should "my" insurance, in general and across the board, go up for such "key with car" Tom Foolery? I am already paying taxes for someone else,s kid to go to school and welfare line walkers

haha yeah well whatever. some people don't want to work so badly they take the time and effort to work the system to their "favour". There are people who need the system and use it appropriately, but then, there are some damn lazy people out there too. It's kinda funny to see the lengths some of these people go to, it would probably just be easier for them to just get a normal job I just wanna see how this turns out lol

Either finish school, or finish cement.

[crustybmw]

Could make a new rule. Finish school and one semester of college or no help.

On the other hand, how much do cement finishers make?

I have no idea haha

Why is the shops insurance not paying for this? They are responsible for the car until you take possession again. If they are skimping out on this issue I would never take my car back to them. Maybe I missed something though.

[TxTrucks]

Good lawd This thread has gone full circle!

Theft --> Headlight debates --> Implied accusations of insurance fraud --> Dealer key price --> Discussion on welfare reform--> Market wage for cement masons


Like a train wreck...I just wanna keep watching!


May I be the first to nominate this thread for STICKY?

Shops say that they are not responsible for theft or damages on the lot I do believe, so......

If the OP isnt going to make it interesting, I, as an american citizen (who doesn't capitalize america) hold it as my right to make this post as interesting to the public as possible to avoid stagnation and non interest of a BMW discussion board!

This. +1

[gc325is]

Shop can say that they are not responsible, but when they are negligent by knowingly leaving keys in cars as normal practice, you can win in court. Random break in not as much.

[crustybmw]

Ahhh, and here is where the vultures (being lawyers that is) step in. Was this a general practice for this shop? Wasnt it stated that in fact the keys were placed in the car upon the owners request? Lawyers love this stuff!



Editors note: The above poster is not a lawyer, please continue.........

[Nohjoxu]

What tum. what shop is this?

Any ever conisidered finding a shop like this and say, waiting for e36's and pulling the seats out, or even taking it somewhere, and swap suspension, and take it back?

The door panels, imagine all the door panels we could have.

[TxTrucks]

lol.
OR....steal em merely for the OEM blue??

Expansion tank siphonerS strike again!

[crustybmw]

Good TTT morning to you all! Did anyone mention :
