Are you saying that he is as popular, with his verbal expressions, control, and views, up north as he is on here?

For all his raving about the new m5, I’m surprised he still has the previous version.

Ya, that really sucks. Vandalizing a car has got to be one of the dumbest things.

Sucks to see that.This looks more like younger kids wanting select parts for their own good.A professional would have taken the entire car and dissmantled it all for money,not worth his time or risk just for a bumper cover and some lights.

Glass breakage does more damage than you might think,it scratches the paint when the glass shatters,gets into places that you cant even imagine and is a complete pain to get all of it out of the door frame.It took the BMW tech 3 times to get all of the little glass pieces out of the door of my wifes car.

So true, they did actually steal parts for sale or use as opposed to some as*hole with nothing better to do than vandalize a car for kicks. Either way whoever does these kind of things needs a serious a*s whooping!

I agree. It's pretty ****ty to take joy in the misery of another enthusiast (or really anyone for that matter).

Schadenfreude anyone?

Thanks for the support guys!
We're all brothers thanks to German engineering.

Really sorry that happened. I know there is not much chance, but hope they find the guys and of course, thank God it wasn't the new M5.

Why would they take the front bumper??? Guess in the States it's Rims, Stereo, and Airbags taken first. Wow, that was wild.

The bumper is a big deal if you have a 645 or 650ci.Alot of guys here with the 6series want to replace their bumpers with the M6 bumbers.They are much nicer looking,front and rear. Oops,I'm sorry,M5 bumpers.Those are hot items for 5 series owners as well.

My Benz got vandalized a few weeks ago (keyed from front to back in another State)and you only wish you could catch the culprit and deliver punishment.It's such a terrible feeling after you wrk so hard to keep your car in mint condition.

Man that makes me mad. People never fail to stupify me with their actions. That is absolutely nauseating to look at. I would take great pleasure in pumping a few rounds into the low-lifes that did that.

Stock E39 M5 is still a great looking car, so Gustav certainly has taste. Great gearbox too. Vandals are scum.

Now in my eyes this is the worse case scenario.The car will never be back to the correct color and finish,unless the entire car is stripped and redone completely.I'd rather they take the whole car and never see it again.
