There has been a bunch of OT threads lately, so i think we should try to keep it all the ot talk in one place. I know the e36 forum rocks, and all the other forums suck big time :bigpimp:, yet we need to stay on topic....
Back in 2011, a really good friend of mine was in town for a wedding and was staying with me. I let him use my car to run some errands while I was at work, and he accidentally let it roll into the back of a parked SUV. It got hit (lightly) square in the kidneys (so to speak), and was enough to crack them, dent the nose panel, take a small chunk out of the aux fan, and break the plastic radiator cover. Luckily, it missed the hood and headlights. He felt so terrible about the whole thing, since he's a car enthusiast, too. Anyway, I got all the replacement parts from a local BMWCCA member's parts car and had the new nose panel professionally painted to match my car. When my friend returned with the car dented up, it also had a CEL, which was really strange. I scanned it and it was for a cylinder #1 misfire. I cleared it and it never came back... Very odd. But yeah, it was an unfortunate situation for my friend to be like "hey, I dented your car and the check engine light turned on!" :rofl:What happened?.....
Ouches. Oddly enough..... this m was parked at the guy's work and a guy pulled in with his jeep forgot to put the parking brake on and the jeep rolled right into the front end of it. I guess the guy knew the collision shop owner because they really milked it I mean.... replacing the airbags cooling system radiator....and everything else. Final bill was over 3200 bucks from the paperwork I have. Hood and fenders are original so . Oh and funny note the painting paperwork said they matched like 12 different shades of Avus on the hood lol.Back in 2011, a really good friend of mine was in town for a wedding and was staying with me.

Um, I'm further convinced that I don't wanna be right either...Now that's a solid plan. What you need to do to take it from "solid" to "evil genius" is figure out how to somehow blend steps 4 and 5. A new car and angry sex in the same week? If that's wrong I don't wanna be right.
OUCH... At least it doesn't look that bad in the pictures. Come to think of it, I have a pair a stock headlights in my garage too... Thought I was free of all remaining E36 parts.F.....M....L
Guy in truck backed into me. Need bumper, kidney grills, nose panel, headlight and chipped my hood....

Brittany is convinced that BMWs themselves actually reproduce when you're not looking, so the headlights doing it are easy enough to believe.Pretty sure I have a set of spare stock headlights as well. Alongside the stock headlights in my car.
This must be an E36-owner thing... headlights reproduce when we're not looking.
He's been gone for a while. The guibo signal wasn't able to beckon himSpeaking of grammar Nazi's, where has Jared been lately?
