BREAK IN!

Ryan 330i · 08-02-2006, 11:19 AM

someone broke in to my car last night. they smashed in the front passenger window. I HAD NOTHING IN MY CAR TO STEAL! i mean literally nothing.
but now i am at work trying to find someone that has OEM glass in stock at the dealer(s) and no one does.
So i can have them put generic in today for 200 bucks or wait for them to order the BMW glass and have it put in for 211 bucks. That means i have to live with a broken window for 2-3 days.

i am really pissed, becuse i just had the alarm put in, and it did nothing to deter anyone. i know it went off too, because after i got in the car it kept blinking till i started it, which means it went off sometime last night in the parking garage.
i want to find out who did it so badly, because if i do i will kill them. i am not joking either!

it doesent look like there is any damage to the leather, paint or door. the only thing that got a bit messed up was the wood trim on the door. but its like the smallest scratch ever, so...
pics to come.

I'd wait for the OEM plinkerton glass...sorry to hear about your break-in.

simnew · 08-02-2006, 11:22 AM

Life's a real bitch at times.

Any traces of blood on the glass ? (hoping that the b****ards might have cut an artery in their haste to steal something .....)

ksfrogman · 08-02-2006, 11:24 AM

I've had this happen to my other vehicles several times.

Maybe the burglar thought he could just press the start button and drive off.

shragon · 08-02-2006, 11:28 AM

sorry to hear about that. yes, wait for oem glass.

Ryan 330i · 08-02-2006, 11:31 AM

i am waiting for a call back from BMW SF to see if they can do it first thing tomorrow. they have the glass in stock. lets see if my SA will actually call me back. But now i have to drive it all the way home from work broken. This whole thing sucks.

HRC · 08-02-2006, 11:51 AM

Sorry to hear about that Ryan! Karma...

Ryan 330i · 08-02-2006, 11:53 AM

they will get theirs. lol.

siriusinvestor · 08-02-2006, 11:55 AM

Wow, that's bullshit. Some individuals this day and age, have no respect for other people's property. I am assuming that the person destroyed your window as a prank, to impress his friends.

Pim · 08-02-2006, 12:01 PM

Yeah could be. But if this person was a young guy trying to impress hiss friends you should do the same with his first car he worked hard for !!! Revenge

Ryan 330i · 08-02-2006, 12:02 PM

i cant belive it though. i mean i will park on the streets of SF like 3 times a week, nothing happens to my car! then i park in my garage a block away from my house that i pay $200/mo for, and thats where it happens.

Pim · 08-02-2006, 12:05 PM

I know Ryan, it sucks !!

TLuuV · 08-02-2006, 12:07 PM

Sorry to hear about it. Something similar happened to me. After a week at the dealer, will be getting my car back tomorrow.

Ryan 330i · 08-02-2006, 12:12 PM

it took a week!! for a new window? wow.

thd13 · 08-02-2006, 12:23 PM

I feel for ya man. I hope it works out. I would wait for the OEM glass.

BK · 08-02-2006, 12:31 PM

That is painful for me just to hear about it. Sorry that happened and I hope you are back as good as new quickly.

And to think, I clicked on this link thinking you were going to post about the break-in period of the engine. You need to find that m&*(f&*( and

sjs · 08-02-2006, 12:34 PM

Sorry about your broken window, that really sucks, but....

kuthair · 08-02-2006, 12:34 PM

That sucks man, sorry to hear about it.

dejav0o · 08-02-2006, 12:39 PM

Dang Ryan, hope you catch the person.... maybe you could see if the garage owner has security cameras placed around the place? I think it's worst that it happend in your garage, since that person could always come back and do it again, whereas on the street it's purely random....

well, the window that broke was my rear window. they had to ship it from germany. plus other stuff on the car has to be replaced as a result of the window breaking. that's why it took so long. sucks to wait.

What part of SF do you live? I live in South Beach; garages seem pretty secure but cars get broken into all the time outside (and it's a pretty nice area).

Ryan 330i · 08-02-2006, 01:09 PM

lower pac heights. the garage closes at midnight, and i pulled my car in at 10pm. i dont know how no one heard the alarm! its really loud, especially in the garage!
