I don't think the M5 bumper works with active cruise control. Does it?

It appears some douche bag tried to parallel park pulling in forward rather than reversing in to park, didn't realize he was too close and peeled your bumper off until it was too late. Could possibly be a neighbor; keep an eye our for neighbors vehicle having passenger side damage with silver paint streaks. Sorry to hear.

They load bakery goods in and out of the building, It must've been a truck with a loading gate step that ripped it off. They all know me, and they all denied it. I checked the (really bad) camera footage but couldnt see anything.

Worse part is I have a dash cam (blackvue), but I didn't buy the battery to let it run all night. It only works when the car is on.

There is an Mtech front bumper that supports adaptive cruise control.

Will the mtech bumper match well with the rest of the body kit on the car?

I think the reason this happened was because you left the roof rack on for too long. Someone saw it and said "WHAT THE......" then chaos ensued resulting in the driver losing control of the pretzel truck and thus you have half a bumper.

& for the record (for everyone here at e60), I warned him about the Roof Rack Effect and the specific effect on those pretzel trucks. Don't let the Roof Rack Effect affect you!
