Damn rollee, that really sucks, sorry it happened to you. Does the insurance take care of such things? I am so paranoid now that im thinking of getting the garage under surveillance! Btw thanks for the headsup since i am heading to markham tomorrow, lawyers meeting, gotta make sure to park it in a safe spot! I hope that your situation gets taken care of without any problems. Let us know how it all goes.

Rollee,
I am just amazed at the complete disrespect some people have for other peoples property.
My heart goes out to you.
If you find out who did it I'd be right behind you to cut his toes off too.

hello everybody, i really appreciate all the kind words and support. nobody want this to happen and i am still very annoyed by it.
Here's an update:
a couple of body shops i visited says the damage is too minor to have their interest, i was told as long as i build a few layers of touch up paint to patch up the exposed metal, the area will not rust, the roundel emblem will cover most of the marks. i cannot accept this solution, afterall its my new baby right?
i went to another person whom does mobile repairs to dents and scratches (his shop is entirely inside his van), took him a couple of hours and $$$ later, the entire damage has vanished like magic! what an expensive lesson, but impressive work.
he maticulously matched and mixed the paint work and repaired the area like new, i cannot see the difference even upon close inspection.
he also repaired the damage to my buddy's m coupe, also an excellent job well done.
it's a strange feeling to drive without the 'bmw' roundel emblem for the last few days.
i learned why our cars look so amazing and seem to have a different appearence in different lighting situations. bmw colours are actually a combination of 'many' different colours, black for example is not black but a combination of 7 different metallic mixes including gold and blue. from this experience i have learned something new.
if anyone in the area would need his services (lets hope not), please let me know.
BTW the bmw roundel emblem costs me ~$20 US. BASTARDS!!!
not only their fingers still needs to be be cut off after castration, they also need to be caned like in singapore.
i will post some pics later. cheers! rollee

rollee, good to hear your baby is ok after the "surgery" 
. i haven't had this experience before (and i don't want one) but i had a strange feeling even my previous e39's rear bumper got some "license plate" marks from other blindfolded drivers. especially at night and people behind me could easily see my non-perfect ass 
. i don't know if we are couple of those perfectionists or not
