My M235i is cursed

jwr0721 · 11-03-2014, 12:12 PM

I curbed it ... But there's a long explanation. Yes it was my fault but I really believe it would have happened to almost anyone where it happened.

I feel horrible.

Happened yesterday, it's already in the shop to be fixed.

Third time this car has been damaged since August.

Maybe.....I was driving up to the dealer to drop it off for combox investigation and a truck ran over a lamp on the highway and spit it out right in front of me. I scooped it up at 70mph and it put some juicy gouges in the lower air dam. And of course there was "no problem found" on my Bluetooth issue. Which continues to plague the car. And someone there put a juicy scratch on the top of the trunk......

No issues like this ever happened to my 1 series while I owned it

I hit two birds, in flight, at the same time.

Took my lifetime in-flight bird strike total to 4.

I thought we had a deal with birds and squirrels?

What deal?

Sorry to read that! I ran over a rock in our old 3 series one morning in the dark and it did this to both left wheels, wasn't even a big one.

another time, a flying landscape stick hit the front of my Saab, and it looked like a wooden stake through a vampire's heart, but it landed so perfectly, it did no damage at all.

Car was supposed to be ready today but they say the parts are taking longer than expected. Tuesday at the earliest. Ugh.
