Oh no! I thought my day was bad. *sigh* In the end it'll be repaired and good as new!
Thanks Mark, it will be repaired, but as you know, never can be so good as new
New is new - repaired is repaired

I was stopped at the red light, and suddenly, from nowhere, a teen with a red old Renault, stopped on my baby's back.
I saw him from my rear view mirror when he was moving closer and closer, he was looking at the shop windows and then, boooooom on my baby, with no brakes at all. My car stopped him. He was moving with about 30km.
Shit, :thumbsdown: Bad day for me today.

The same thing happened me last Friday. However I was lucky as i was driving a 330 touring that I was trying to sell on to a punter. Would not have been driving the car only the freak that wanted to buy it asked me to put a retriever in the back to prove that he fitted comfortably. Thank you mrs weirdo.

PS of course the dog fit!

I worry about the inner parts of the car's rear body.
Also the around the plate part of the trunk needs repainting. There are scratches from the Renault's headlights broken glasses there.
Now, yes an ///M rear is a must.
So you will go for the ///M rear but leave the front like that?? Never seen that before but ok, it's your car

And you might test the PDC too, because i see some PDC-receivers are missing and maybe others are broken

Sorry to hear and see the bad news Nick. I hope it can be repaired soon and that the damage is only to the bumper itself.

Haha, ///M side skirts already fitted, ///M rear bumper after the accident has to be fitted,
and of course the front bumper is on my mind, for a complete ///M aero look.

Hey Nick, it's a bummer to be rear-ended. But it's not a "baby", just a car and I'm sure it can be fixed fine as it is only bumper and panel damage. Cars get damaged, that's life, be philosophical about it and be glad it wasn't really a baby, you obviously don't have children.

I forgot to mention the Eibach pro kit lowering. 1cm more than the ///M sport.

Where is Ats?
I don't know things about groups for the meet and BMW Dingolfing factory tour.
Ats, where are you?

The meet is here
