Without any info, I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that it's vandalism. Could have been a fight, someone could have been getting chased, I live in NYC and I've seen fights spill out into the street and people get slammed into cars, I've seen people jump onto cars being chased either by the police or other. people jump onto cars running from stray dogs, anything. Not trying to minimize it because this is way more than a footprint or a dent. But don't wish anything bad on anyone because you don't know what happened...someone could have been running for their life!

Holy sh*t. What an a-hole. Anyway, there is a new roof panel in your future. No way that can be fixed properly otherwise. Sorry.

My Ride: E60 2005 530d MSport. Media Package. Cream leather heated seats. Falkens.
I had it parked at the seafront (Outside the yacht club - doing a sailing event)
After a couple of beers decided to leave the car there for the night. It's a good area!!
3 roofs were done, but not nearly as bad as mine, and 3 or 4 other cars had wing-mirrors ripped off. Couple of windshiekd wipers too. So yeah, vandals!
Got my quote yesterday, remove headlining, front windshield, rear window, seat, cut out roof, new roof panel, hew head lining, new bonnet, respray these panels. (No new sharkfin).
£3-4k. So about $5,500 I think. Nasty.
I am now the proud driver of a 1.4l Kia Rio. Doesn't even have central locking, a/c, or elec windows, and don't get me started on the gearbox!!!
This'll be a long 2 1/2 weeks!
