He doesn’t “hard park” aka back in either. Backing in is easier and safer than normal parking because you can go more into the spot since ground clearance is higher in rear than front. This means your car isn’t “as long” and therefore less chance of a car pulling in and touching you.
These cars are hitting the middle of his car... even if he backed in and scooted back a couple extra inches, these idiots would still be hitting him.
Yeah, I think I would be looking for another spot, even in another lot if I had to and hike in.

Also, might want to get a pair of dash cams, even if you only use them when you park. You will have a good chance at identifying the asshat(s).

:dat: sucks the lot isn't under surveillance and you can't request the tapes. Does a low impact thing like this still count as a hit-and-run technically?

It's probably not intentional or even noticed by the offenders. People are totally oblivious.
Yep. I've had people creep into my bumper while we're all stopped at a light. Because playing candy crush and texting La'shanda instead of paying fucking attention. These sort of parking scrapes are rage inducing because just more evidence that nobody gives a fuck about your nice things.

When I had my Focus, I came out of work one day to my front bumper basically completely ripped off the car with nobody in sight. Filed a report with security and eventually found out it was an electrician that did it. He fessed up to it, said he turned too early in his truck leaving the parking spot so the rear wheel well hit my bumper :yikes: and didn't want to wait around to see who it was because he was running late.

Yes, they damaged your car and ran. Good luck getting a police officer to care though. Insurance might go after someone if you have video evidence of whodunit.

I know someone that has this one and says it is really good. I might get this for the JL.



It has an impact sensor and other parking modes that seem pretty decent. They use Sony StarVis sensors, which I have in my IP cameras and they are damned good in the dark.

This or the Blackvue's are on my radar right now.

Yeah, fuck the Police, I'd be wanting the insurance companies to step up. Guess you might need police assistance in running the plates to ID the driver, but who knows.

Whatever cunt did this will likely deny it and say "that's nothing" or "It wasn't me" and or "my car was already "damaged" I think I have found the culprit which is a POS 2010 honda civic.

Our security is a joke... no cameras at all in the parking lot... especially in the back where I park to stay away from tards.

I was once at Fair Oaks Mall where there was a 4 series in the mall and theres a card that you mail it to sign up to win. I saw these 14 year old salvadorians just scrambling the shit out of it and threw it in bin presumably they hate BMW's.

1. Parked like shit...
2. Parked in my general area (which is rare since most ppl don't park in that place)
3. White
4. I don't recognize the car and i tend to know everyone else....
5. damage on the front left side consistent with what happened to my car.

I probably would agree with maxwell here. When my mother used to have her 535, Whenever she drives it or when i used to drive it, it seems to attract lot of assholes and idiots. I remember people would pass her after she does even though she is already going 10-15 over the limit. She even got cut off by a fucking hyundai santa fe at a stop light when it was green and purposely stopped in front of her. I also just got back from a roadtrip with the uncles macan. This fucking renault clio looked at us, and passed a bus by going over gravels by the right line, too bad I didn't record that and put on snapchat

two possible culprits yes, I fucking lot lizard'ed and looked at every white car with consistent damage. (there are a few). The BMW has black on the bottom... which doesn't really make sense as there is certainly white paint transfer all the way on the bottom of my side skirt.

The civic has scratches that nearly perfectly line up... when someone is pulling out and yanking the wheel too far to the left.

Honestly the best you can do to identify which one is the culprit is take tape measure of your scratch to see how far from the ground, and do the same with each of these cars.

Judging the way the front bumper is designed on the civic, its most likely the x1, due to the little bulge on the vic near the bottom

Edit 2: its deff x1, notice the 2 parallel lines on its bumper, i dont think that scratch on the civic would cause a scratch that long

On the dead forum there would be twenty five flatbrim guys telling you to deliver great vengeance and retribution upon the Civic owner but:

1. That's a felony
2. The Civic owner would likely not notice anything you did to the car short of blowing it up.
3. The Civic owner will never understand why you are that madbro, not with 1000 hours of counseling.
4. The Civic owner is likely an AZN woman, perhaps just sport fuck her and call it a day?

I actually found it impressive that the civic was able to leave that long a strip that actually buffed out. That's cutting it close.

Sport fuck is such a great term..


He's right though :225: find the AZN woman who did this, have a bodycam on, and turn the encounter where you call her out into a full blown porno.
