My Ride: '04 530d Executive, all options except sunroof and comfort seats
ECU remapped by ZipTuning to 260+bhp.
So, i parked my car at a pub last night and went in for a night of poker.
When i came back, i didn't notice anything (it was dark, didn't pay much attention), but when i got in my car this morning i noticed a big dent above my left rear door.
Luckily the paint isn't damaged, but this doesn't look as something that happened on accident...
Gonna get it fixed tomorrow, i have no idea how much this is going to cost, but seeing that it's in one of the parts of the car that is least accessible from the rear, i'm afraid of the bill...
Pics follow (iPhone pics)

Yes, shouldn't be too bad - cost wise to fix. looks more like some drunk stumbled into your car on the way out of the pub tom me. Doesn't strike me as intentional.

My Ride: I have an 05 545i. It's a manual with a few options. This is my first BMW but I don't know how I'll ever be able to switch to something else.
I almost feel bad for ENVY, he posted on here knowing he would get flamed but I don't think he thought he would become a circulating joke on 5series.net

It's not that bad and shouldn't be hard to fix. Still, it sucks that it happened.
Lesson learned: Never park in front of or next to the pub.

Well at least it's a relatively minor repair, I hope it's done quickly and you go on enjoying your E60!
