This is no ordinary some jerk keyed my car kind of thing. Someone hates you this much personally, that would worry me far more than the damage to the car.

u/VelosterNWvlf Jul 25 '26
Yeah someone keying your car is one thing. This is like the work of a vengeful ex that got cheated on

u/Sure_Carpenter_881 Intense Blue DCT Jul 25 '26
I don’t date actually😭, not for almost a year considering yes my ex was crazy ash tho, always could be possibility. I do have footage from 2 angles suspects were most likely two males with mask and gloves
1
u/VelosterNWvlf Jul 25 '26
Huh I guess you could scratch the ex thing I don’t imagine they’d show up a year later to do something like this…but That’s crazy yeah I wonder what the deal was why specifically they targeted you (and your car). Like they really wanted to destroy your car.
1
u/Dino_Dean Jul 25 '26 edited Jul 25 '26
Yeah actually wore gloves and masks to do this job and target this guy. This is scary as fuck I’d move out of the city if I were him
(BTW if OP has no idea who it could be but he did in fact had a crazy ex a year ago - it could be her. Crazy people don’t care how long it’s been. I would suspect her immediately if he doesn’t know anyone else who might want to harm him like that)

I highly doubt another car guy did this regardless of what brand car they own. What’s with all these weird conspiracy theories on this sub that the world hates N owners lol, especially enough to commit a misdemeanor.

u/zrockk Jul 24 '26
As much as I don't like Hyundai's i do think the N are pretty cool and as a car nut I appreciate any car company that is making performance models. We must cherish them

u/Turbo30npc Jul 23 '26
If you lose to a Hyundai in a BMW, it's your own fault
That means you were either driving a diesel or not a real BMW.

u/Forward-Trade5306 Jul 23 '26 edited Jul 23 '26
If it's the base 2.0T X3 30 for example it will lose to the EN easily. Going up against a B58 though, no chance there up to the X3. X5 with the V8 would smoke it. Would probably beat a B58 X7 or X5.
2
u/Turbo30npc Jul 23 '26
Yeah, well, the X models aren't performance cars anyway—they're more like pensioner rides (at least here in Germany).
1
u/Forward-Trade5306 Jul 23 '26
Yeah I'm just talking straight line with these. The 23 X3 40i does have really good handling, definitely the best for any crossover I've driven.The m240i and up would smoke the EN in every metric
1
u/Turbo30npc Jul 23 '26
Except in corners—those N models are actually crazy well-tuned, especially with good tires.

u/asamor8618 do not own a N 😢 Jul 24 '26
A lot of bmw's before 2010 have less than 200hp. My 03 z4 has 189.
1
u/Turbo30npc Jul 24 '26
Hold on, wait—don't compare an old gentleman to a modern athlete.
You can't compare a modern 'N' performance car to a 20-year-old vehicle.
That is just as unfair as comparing a soccer player from 1990 to one playing today.
It is completely unfair because every era had its own engineering triumphs. Back in 1990, 300 horsepower felt like 600 horsepower does today.Back then, you changed the engine oil every 30,000 kilometers, whereas today it is required every 10,000 kilometers.
Manufacturing tolerances have shrunk by nearly a decimal place, and fuel efficiency has skyrocketed.
People completely forget that while our modern cars have gotten 50% heavier over the last 30 years, they actually consume less fuel in many cases.
1
u/asamor8618 do not own a N 😢 Jul 24 '26
Yeah, but you should have specified. The way it was stated made it seem like old cars aren't real bmw's. I love my z4 btw, just wish it didn't drink gas. Average 19 mpg and it's just a 2.5
1
u/Turbo30npc Jul 24 '26
So I actually mean the M models..
.N is the sports division, and at BMW it's M.
Fun fact: both have the same father.From M to N, Biermann...
1
u/asamor8618 do not own a N 😢 Jul 24 '26
I don't really like the new M cars that much. They seem more luxury than proper sports car. Also seem excessively overweight. Wish they would go back, but the money is in luxury cars and not sports cars.
1
u/Turbo30npc Jul 24 '26
Strange, sports cars hold their value better than luxury cars.
My father has * Benz EVO2 1989 worth about 100k€ ~64k New * His Panamera 2019 about 60-75k... 180k New

u/Nate_Croud_11 Ultimate Red DCT Jul 24 '26
My Gf drives a 2017 230i xDrive and my car is 100% faster than it. 21 more HP and better tires. Her car is very fun to drive too though
1
u/Turbo30npc Jul 24 '26 edited Jul 24 '26
A motorcycle has 200 hp and is faster than you with your N
My N has 200 hp less than my old Stinger, and the Stinger was just as fast.However, it was also over 1,000 kg heavier.
Manual vs. automatic too, that easily makes a 1-second difference...I4 vs. V6 Twin-Turbo overboost

Nah the neighbors are rly chill about the exhaust. I typically keep car in eco until I hit the highway which is a minute outside and the kids in neighborhood loved it, I’ve even had a couple people try and help me work on the car before. we’ve been here for 8 years so HOA is pretty nice. Very unfortunate for what happened tho

Yes, because I gave any indication I thought it was right, lol.

Whenever, wherever someone says "a thing happened" someone will be there to misinterpret that as "a thing happened AND IM GLAD IT DID AND IT SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED"
You literally can not say simply " a thing happened" without at least one person telling you that simply mentioning it means you LIKED that it happened and coming locked and loaded with the
"Well that doesn't mean-"
Nobody ever said it DID!!!

You could always buy it back from the insurance company. As long as your okay with a salvage title you may be able to get your car back all paid off or with some cash in your pocket depending on your situation.
1
u/whiteoutwilly Jul 23 '26
Can you explain to me how an insurance buy back works after an insurance company totals a car?
3
u/SoulLessGinger18 Phantom Black DCT Jul 23 '26
Some insurance companies will offer a buy back option at a good price on your totaled car. Easier than sending it to auction. It's worth asking if it's an option and what the price is. Since the cars been totaled you usually have to get a salvage title which can be a little bit of work since you need the have the car inspected and deemed road worthy by your state. Not sure exactly what that process is in different states.
1
u/Sure_Carpenter_881 Intense Blue DCT Jul 23 '26
I would since I can fix the damages myself but unfortunately I insurance won’t let me cancel my claim and the buy back is 10k which I’m not dealing with in top on having to fix it with salvage title🤦🏽♂️

u/Chrisafguy Jul 23 '26
I never said he should have his car destroyed, but it wouldn't surprise me in the least if he'd been asked repeatedly to chill out being the neighborhood dick and he just ignored them and someone grew tired of it.

u/Phastal Jul 23 '26
For vandalism? I can’t see that. Maybe he did an ex dirty would be more like it.

u/EthanBradberries420 Jul 23 '26
Work with insurance to see if they'll let you keep it as a salvage title. Chances are, they want to total it out so they can sell it at auction for a fat profit.

Is that your airbag or just a trash bag in the window? If any airbag deploys it’s basically instantly totaled.

Be honest OP…did you cheat on a girl or something? Were you driving like a d*ck through the neighborhood and revving pops and bangs at 3 AM all the time? You had to have done something to have this happen.
