Well had my e60 since 20th May 2006 and already some total w****r has bumped into it and left a 6" long scrape on the back bumper between the PDC sensors

The really annoying thing is that I know for sure this happened in the company car park at work and there are only 5 spaces there including mine and no-one has admitted it (so far).

I've tried to polish it out and it looks better but I think I'm going to have to get some professionals to see to it. :'(

Sorry to burden you all with this but had not vent my frustration!

Sorry to hear that, it's nothing worse than having your car damaged by some basxxrd and not catching them
Hope it can be polished out!

Well the plot thickens - had a chat with the fleet manager, apparently a hire car was dropped off yesterday so he is looking into it.

I really hope this wasn't someone I work with

Damn and can't you verify the other cars you already know? Then you can see at the front or back of those cars that it has been them or somebody else...

Would be really stupid if they wouldn't admit, because you can always see stains of paint on both cars normally...

Can i see the pic? sorry about that.

Do not feel that bad. When I bought my first bmw, a 323i back in 2000, I got hit by some one on the right
fender- passenger side after only 90miles on it. The fender had to be replaced.

I got it my car Friday night, and i got hit the next morning . my car was parked when it got hit.

I hope you find the tosser - my guess is that no-one will come clean though.

If it makes you feel any better I promise it wasn't me.

I'm also sorry to hear about this. Not only did SOMEONE else do this to you, but now YOU have to pay to fix it. Just is not right!
