My Ride: e36 318i manual convertible top, 5 speed manual, calypso red/black soft top, cassette am/fm radio, heated sand leatherette seats, michelin mxv4 allseason tires (100% stock)

Accidents happen. I can accept this. We all make mistakes. What really makes me mad is when so called financially responsible people hit someone's car and simply drive off without even leaving a note. Better yet, the guilty party may even be a "neighbor" living in my condo building. I'll know for sure when I check the video cameras tomorrow. Now I have to find a decent paint shop in Chicago to buff and spray my bumper. Hopefully there's no other damage to the car.

Sorry to hear this. It sucks.
Happened to my E36 about a month ago at a Home Depot... sheet metal damage to the drive side door and body panel in front of the rear wheel well. No note either.
3 years ago, got a dent on the passenger side at a different Home Depot. Again, no note.
Maybe I have to stay away from Home Depot.
Gonna have to give the insurance company a call.
