Some (insert numerous derogatory epithets here) just keyed my '01 325Ci. I am furious and would tear the SOB limb from limb if I found them - though not likely.
It happened on Larchmont Blvd. just north of Beverly for those of you familiar with LA. Parked my car at a meter to stop in and visit my gf at her office and went outside 18 minutes later and they got one deep scratch across the passenger rear fender, door, and front fender!
It doesn't look like it'll buff out - it's pretty deep. I called a couple of places and they said I'm looking at around $1000 to repaint all three panels - maybe more depending on if they have to feather it into the other body panels.
Does that sound about right? Does the fact that it's a metallic paint (steel grey) matter in this? Does anyone know where I can get a license to hunt people who key cars?
Thanks - I needed to vent a little!
