Wife drove it to work. Her spot is at the end of the lot. Passenger side is away from everything. Another can't park next to it. Yet somehow this happens. Deep too.

Tree branch somehow? Or somebody keyed it. That sucks eitherway!

[aliwtsn]

That does look like a keyed mark unfortunately ...I wouldn't be impressed

[x3mcomp]

Ouch, gutted for you.

You know that happened to my wife’s Forester. She parks it way back and somehow she ended up with a scratch/scrape (6”x4”). The mother ducker 🤬 didn’t bother to leave a fing note.

Ugh. I worry about mine whenever I park it. Some people are just aholes.

[Mtxzptlk]

Yep, looks keyed, semi deep gouge showing through paint.

Sorry man.

I had some idiot back into my front bumper and drive off within the first 3 weeks of having my X3M

Any plans to get a dash cam with a dedicated battery for longer parking recording?

These events are simply awful.

People don't give a sh*t. My dash cam recorded this clown at home depot smoke another car with a 2x4 while loading it and drive off. He knew he did it but didn't care.

I waited for the owner to come out and showed him the video. Face, license plate all clear as day.

I was waiting in the car while a buddy went in to grab a few things. I knew the cam was recording, I also took a few pics on my phone just in case.

I've thought about it but not sure it'll make a difference when parked. People will drive off anyway.

Exactly and you can't record 360 degrees.

I really wanted to do full PPF but I was looking at $5k - $6k USD.

I went with the front PPF and full ceramic and that set me back almost $4k.

Wish manufactures would offer this as an option at the factory.

Best I can do is park as far away from everyone as I can. You can always count on people's laziness.

Train station is hard. I get a corner spot but it doesn't stop people from making up a spot right next to you.

Yea it was too much. I called around and that seems to be the going rate in my area (NY).

I would have loved to do both 360 PPF and ceramic but on this $80k car I spend about $6k between paint protection and winter wheels/tires just to get it road ready!
