Good thing he/she missed the door handle

Why would someone spit on your car be it a z4 or a M6 or F458? At least he/she didnt key it. Either way its ridiculous to say the least.

MUCH rather have a gobber on there than a key scratch.

Speaking of vehicular disrespect, anyone else had their front (or rear) tow hook cap stolen yet? Including the part, which then has to be sent out for painting, then have the 3M rock chip guard applied, it was $120 CDN to replace, which is about half of my comprehensive insurance deductible. And the part doesn't even require a tool to liberate from the car. Poor design, if you ask me.

This has to be happening from other BMW owners. There is no reason to take this unless you have the same car in the same color.

I guess if you park your car outside for any period of time like an airport or some parking garage maybe you should remove them your self to protect them.

But as my father always told me, locks only keep honest people honest. Without a lock on these caps they will be stolen.


If BMW would offer these covers pre painted at a reasonable price I think it would lower desire to steal them.

I think I can find a willing audience to hear today's rant.
So, One of my biggest gripes that happens more often then you'd think.

You spend a good part of your Sunday detailing your car and do all the right things to make your joy shine and glisten. You start your commute to work on Monday with it looking beautiful and what happens as you go to merge onto the interstate....the friggin' Prius in front of you decides at that exact moment in time to clean their windshield by spraying washer fluid all over the place. I have no where to go and it proceeds to "spritz" all over the front of my car.
SHEER FRUSTRATION

Thanks for listening.
By the way, my solution is to usullay proceed to get ahead of them in traffic and return the favor.

So would you be as frustrated if you got sprayed by a Veyron?

yes
