Dings, paint chips...
Anyone have any door dings, paint chips on bumper/hood/fender, etc? My E90 is a lease and I'm probably not going to get clear bra.
Also when you park far away from everyone, there is always one car that has to park right next to you. |

Why is it they can engineer solutions to problems that don't exist (active steering comes to mind) but they can't formulate a clear coat and paint that meet EPA standards *and* resist chipping and swirls? At least give me a paint on the front end that pits instead of chips ... or make it afforable to have the front end repainted every few years to freshen it up.
All my cars end up looking like rally cars after about 2 years. |

One could be relieved that '76 Monte Carlo with giant doors are no longer in production.
But instead, they send us stupid minivans with moms who can't control the door. You couldn't believe how much I walk. |

No kidding! I always park as far as I can. Naturally I come out of the store the other day and there's this huge 18 wheeler loaded with rocks next to my car!!! I almost died, but fortunately nothing on my car.

Shopping dings
Dings are cause by careless individual, they just don't care, once I ding other ppl car, that is due to the wind blowing my car dor open to quickly.
But now days you can get a ppl that will remove it and you can barely see the marks of the work done on it. I had one at the shoulder line of my Toyota corolla the size of a foot ball (due to vandalism) no paint had peel off, just kick in, as well as other smaller dings, and it came out perfect, the 'foot ball' cost me nearly US$230, but it was worth it. Persevere and enjoy your car, and stay away from shopping malls car park, save money and save your car from mortal damage!

You should park next to a nicer car then the one you are driving, cause then a thief would steel the nicer car and not yours!! haha I already have one door ding on my car. My gf crapped all over me when I said I won't park next to shitty beaten up cars because they have no respect. Well, the other day I took my gf and her friend somewhere and she jumped out of my back seat and SLAMMED the door open into an E46 next to me. She drives (the friend) a shitty car - and therefor proves she has no respect. There was plenty of space to get out, but no...she slammed my door full well into the E46's side mirror. LUCKY there was no damage on either car. So when i try and park, i try park next to the cleanest shiniest most expensive car - because I think someone in a M5 would care if he scratched his car. Someone in a 1982 Oldsmobile wouldn't. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: |
