My poor e30

Recommended Posts

I was round at a mates house in christchurch last night and i was parked in his drive way in a pretty good neighbourhood. i woke this morning to find the front panel above the wheel kicked in in 3 spots and paint cracked and fallen off. I dont know about you guys but its completly gutting when your pride and joy gets abused by some drop kick, i have not got any funds to fix it so it will be sitting in the garage for a while.

That's just f**king uncalled for behaivour, these people need to get a job or a missus instead of hanging around the streets in the middle of the night.

A swift kick to the teeth is needed for this loser.

Sorry bro.

It seems in the last few years these types of crimes have increased hugely, I guess its the misguided youth who didnt get their asses kicked enough when they were younger because of the smacking bill, god bless the government.

Know how you feel, just last week came back to my car after school and found two dents in the bonnet, one in the left front guard. Was parked in the "secure" school grounds.

Cheers Riley, it just needs paint and panel work so no parts thankfully. Thanks for the offer though.

If it's a standard BMW colour then you should be able to pick a good one up for under $150. Then it's just unbolt the old and bolt on the new. Even for someone with no skills it shouldn't take more than a couple of hours.

Gutted, I feel for you.

When I was at school my e21 had a big long key mark along it's red paint :(

Took a few hours to buff that one out. Still can see it if the wax job isn't good enough.
