Just PM me when ready I dont check every posting I do so often. I'll try to assess and tell you best way to approach it.
Yea I'll try getting it up soon. I've just been really busy with school and haven't found the time. I don't want to take it at night inside my garage because I doubt that you would be able to see anything. Only time I can take pics is at night though, when I get home from school. I'll put one up and PM you with the pic of the car at night in the garage. *REMINDER SET IN PHONE*

Hopefully the Puncher (or Kicker) lives such a miserable existence that they are unable to ever enjoy anything as much as we all enjoy our E60's! If not, then I'm hoping for a swift dose of Karmic Retribution to this low life!

Here are the links for pictures of the dent. I FINALLY remembered to take some pics and post them up. Sorry for taking so long. Been busy with school and would always forget when I was at home until now.

When I was leaving the mall parking lot last week, some teenagers decided to make out while leaning on the side of my car.
It is a 2010 550i with M-package that I had just polished nicely.
When I walked up to them, they apologized and stated that I had a great car, and they would find some other BMW to make out on.
I was worried about scratches from their clothing, but nothing was there.
I thought, WTF??

Must be classy kids - did you point them to a 2003 Ford 150 Extended-cab pick-up truck so they could get more comfortable?

I know how you feel, I had the same thing happen to my car couple of days ago. Two young guys didn't see me working on my other car just around the corner, when they kicked out at my E61.

I chased em, knocked down the one-guy and told em what would happen if there was any further damage to my car (even if it's not their fault). I'm 6ft 5 and I think they got the message. Only way to deal with this low-life, police won't do anything.

Not sure what the 'held view' of BMW drivers is in the US but in the UK, generally, they are held in low regard and therefore their cars are targeted for random vandalism. The view of BMW drivers in UK is agressive, bad road maners, never use indicators, think they own the road, everyone should get out their way etc, etc.

That's a nasty dent. I had a dent in a previous car right at the same spot and the dent wizard guys said they couldn't fix it because of the crease. G/L

They were the Ford 150 types, and I am still trying to figure out why someone would get off with his girlfriend by making out on an expensive car.
I guess I should be flattered????

Pretty much the same over here, and you can add "Drive too fast."

In Australia, all the above bad things said about BMW drivers only apply to the 3 Series owners lol

Usually the 5 and 7 Series drivers are regarded as old and just regular drivers
