My car is at a body shop in southern Colorado. It was towed there today, unharmed, perfect condition. The exact location that my car was located at was just hit by a massive 20 minute straight hailstorm. The hail has been reported to be over the size of a golf ball in some locations. If my car was not brought inside, there is a chance that it is royally fucked. If this car is totaled (unlikely) I will be probably purchasing outside of bmw. Fingers crossed. This might be bad, some of the people around there have already asked someone I know who owns a roofing company for full roof repairs. Fuck.

That could suck. Hopefully they put it inside. I swear to God, every time we have car that has to stay somewhere, my wife insists that it be kept inside. We have even driven by to check. We are not assholes to the SAs, we are actually quite nice. We are just really picky and let them know that to avoid problems. They know we see the odometer readings, they know we want the car stored inside. I didn't used to be this way, but life has taught me to trust but verify. Hope your car is alright.

I followed you through the whole process of M2 test mules and finally getting the car. I know that you yearned for it and, still youthful, made sacrifices to get it. That also explains why I stand up for you if people have a (mild) laugh with your misfortune (not to be confused with poking fun, irony and sarcasm about other things than misfortune - I'm pretty open minded and indulgent). And if that jump in front of you may tarnish the view that some may have about me, then so be it. In my conception it's about doing the right thing. Get the car back to pristine condition. Your car gremlin credits have now all been used, so only good times must lie ahead. Good luck, fellow.

So sorry to hear that!
A hailstorm is always very painful when your car means something to you. It was just last year that I was driving home from our European 1addicts Sella 2.0 tour, where all of a sudden a big hailstorm hit my car and some fellows 1M who has joined as well. My complete hood, roof and the fenders were all hit by hail-"tennisballs". I was sitting behind the wheel and couldn't do shit about it. All I could do was throw a fleece towel over the hood, but unfortunately it helped nothing and only my arm was hit by the hail and was bruised for weeks...

Thanks for the support guys, really means a lot and it's greatly appreciated. Just spoke to the body shop, the area was pelted pretty hard, but fortunately they moved my car inside before the storm. Crisis averted. The other thing is that my intercooler is apparently barely functioning. I'm hoping that no damage to the engine or turbo was done, because the car has run for about 15 minutes total after the accident. I'm hoping I don't get my car back and it's never the same as it once was.

So disappointed in you guys.

In re: to the new bumper, that is typically just a negotiation between you and the insurance company.
There's a few things that I would argue to try and get new rather than repaired: - how new the car is - how rare the car is (they don't have to know there's a 4 year production) - how long you waited for the car - it's not a cheap econo-box and you want it the way it was before (sans scratch) Etc, Etc...those points worked well for me - I had something fly off a truck in front of me on the interstate the 3rd day I had my 981 - it crunched a nice 5 inch dent right where the hood and bumper meet on my car. They wanted to fix the hood and replace the bumper, but I argued the items above and eventually got both replaced.

String of unlucky events, could have been much worse. At least I'm not putting miles on it for a while...
Estimate from the insurance was $3,300. Will probably be closer to $4,000. Items that need complete replacement: Intercooler Radiator Condenser Front Fan Front Fan Housing Front Structural Plate Intercooler Brackets Intercooler Clips Plastic Platform inside front bumper Black Mesh Full Front Xpel Items that need fixing: Dents in Front Bumper. Decide not to replace the front bumper. Or at least try not to. I would have to then deal with getting it painted. And it might never look perfect. I'm willing to allow them to try reforming it with a heat gun. Overall it's 4K, could have been worse. My deductible is 500 bucks. At least I get a 0 mileage intercooler, radiator, and condenser out if it. I guess there are some positives. Car starts of fine, no hesitations, no engine lights. Still sounds like a beast. There is a chirping noise, but only when the hood is open, and I think that's actually normal. There is some good news coming out of this as well. Now I'm 10x more likely to DINAN the car. After going through all this shit I sort of want to just say fuck it and go all out. I'm trying to grow my Instagram, to get sponsored by DINAN. Once I have enough followers I am going to call them and see what I am do. I'm @stealth_m2, any follows are appreciated. They estimated that this series of unfortunate event will be over by the end of next week, which is great considering that I'm on a business trip next week back in the North East, so I wouldn't have been here anyways. I'll keep you guys updated! Again so so so so so many thanks for being supportive and keeping me at ease, what a shitty weekend that was. Much love!

I'm also sorry to read what happened to your car. I've been following this forum since the beginning of the year, and remember reading your posts, along with others; waiting for your M2. It's been fun living vicariously though you gals/guys and your experiences getting the car.
I'm glad they have the parts and you will be getting the car back sooner than you thought. |
