Please don't take this the wrong way. But I would change girlfriends.

Some advice for your next girlfriend/wife: Strongly encourage her (hereinafter referred to as the "Female") to sign a written contract that clearly stipulates the Female is never to drive your car under any circumstances. Of course, she may be driven by you, in your car, at any time. However, the Female can never be the person driving the car.

A contract drawn up along these lines will ensure happy driving for years to come. While other aspects of the relationship will surely be permanently damaged, at least there will be no "female factor" to worry about when it comes to your car.

Work the guilt angle for this. It'll take your mind off the panel damage.

I actually let my gf drive my car and she lets me drive hers. Actually sometimes i tell her to take my car so that i can take her 1er. She is a good driver and im encouraging her to come to the track with me. Or at least autox.

Came back and attached the rim with a file, some wet n dry and auto sol... now almost cannot see the damage...

A follow up to this post. My wife took the car for the day (I let her). When she came back, the remarked that the suspension is too soft for her liking (she drives a Scirocco 2.0 and keeps the DCC on Sport all the time). Caused her to have a terrible headache.

I guess that the last time she'll be wanting to drive my car...

Yea, depending on how bad the crack is, I would take it to a local body shop that you trust (I always have a guy that does all my work that I trust)... You can buy the clips and plastic parts cheap.. Even if the bumper is cracked enough to require bondo and needs re-painting, it wont cost you nearly as much as buying a whole new one or paying BMW to do the same work for 5x the price... Just my opinion... Hard to say exactly without seeing a pic of the damage...


And OMG that video.... what an f'n IDIOT!! I really dont get people sometimes.... hahaha

[Efthreeoh]

Sounds like to me the classic Wife/Girlfriend "drive over the parking space curb-stop" scenario. When in doubt Women just drive forward....

Need some advice, it's a lease so should I take to the bmw dealer? I am afraid they are going to bend me over and replace everything and not try to fix. How much is the m sport bumper for a 335?

There are 3 rules all men should live by, one of them is "don't let anyone (especially a female) drive your car. Can you guess the other rules? I would go through the insurance. The dealer (like most dealers) will bang you over the head and have you replace the entire bumper when you probably don't need to.

Married for a long time, these thing happen and cars can be repaired. Lucky for me the Mrs. Really has decided that she would rather "be up high" and drive the X5 (a car which she did not want but was "forced" into it mpby be from her little 325iT when the 2nd kid showed up).

One of my favorite story like this is when she was pregnant with our first, she rammed the back of my 325i into the front of her father's 325i! Got a two for one! We do not talk about it in front of him. He saw it coming from the back yard and I can still here his "Nooooo!!!" scream if I think about it.

Close second is when I let my mother in law borrow the 325i because it had the car seats installed. She claimed to be about to drive a manual.......
