It may be a little late reaching your dealership....

Ho- Lee- Chit... where was this dude?

[John 070]

In Phila.....the only thing I could imagine is the carrier was leaving the dealership and tried to take a shortcut to the expressway....looked like the rear trailer was unhitched and it had a 535 that only sustained a dented trunk....

[Dark_Knight_335]

Wow...crapola. That'll buff right out!

[John 070]

What would worry me is when I worked near the airport, I would see cars with the film still on it and stickers, in for repair. The 535 will probably get repaired and the buyer will never know, until 7 yrs. from now the paint starts cracking and the trunklid is rusting.....

[Dark_Knight_335]

Yea really...unbelievable man.

Not a good day for the driver. I'm trying to make out how this happen.

I recently had some work done on my car, and got a call from my service manager. Apparently my front bumper had been repainted--the foglights had overspray on them.

FYI: I bought the car brand new--Factory Order--from that very dealership back in September '07.

What's the dealership name?

Curious, did your car have 3 miles on it when you took delivery, or more than that? My car was a factory order too, and they called me on the Friday it came in. I didn't have time to pick it up, so I got it Saturday. They had to drive it to storage for Fri. night, and then bring it back on Sat morning.

Now if it had gotten damaged in transit, I bet I would have gotten a call two weeks later that the car was ready. This is why BMW lets you track the car to port, but not after that.

My car had I think 1.5 miles on it.

Amazing, so they would repair it AND be careful to not drive it during the repair process....and what is up with the extra 1.5 mi on my car!?!

Railroad bridge only had 11'8" clearance, he was over 13', and the road being snow packed made it worse. I interviewed one of the patrolmen on the scene ( watched a lot of Law and Order back in the day ).

Yikes what a shame...

pretty easy he hit the bridge. The picture is after the truck back out in order to make it easy to clean up the mess

[ny325]

That's what I first thought. He really misjudged his clearance.
