Badge Stolen

cisf0rcalvin · 05-08-2010, 11:58 PM

Drove to UCSD to visit my gf. Parked my bimmer overnight in the small lot across The Village housing place. When I go open my trunk the next day I notice its gone. Looked at other bimmers around me with their's still intact. At least they didn't damge my car. Thirty dollars to replace. Stupid thieves...no respect for other people's property. How would they like if their's got stolen >

Sucks how that the emblem comes right off though.

This happened to me about two weeks ago! I couldn't believe it. There are several other BMWs in my neighborhood and mine was the only one that was taken.

Luckily, I also didn't notice any damage when they removed it.

thats the thing, it doesnt...it takes experience and the right tool to remove them easily...basically those guys have done it numerous times because they need the right tool to get it off, you cant just walk up and pull with your fingers

Lol Calvin..I think I know you. Your last name starts with H and you used to go to CHS right? lol we're fb friends and i used to go to your hs. How do I know this? You posted this on fb

Just check ebay and you might be able to buy it back from the guy who took it.

Oulixes · 05-09-2010, 12:19 AM

The BMW badge is not so easy to remove without the proper tool, which the thieves most likely had. BMW and Mercedes badges are the most common targets.

Damn that sucks

e90carbon · 05-09-2010, 12:30 AM

That's nothing compare to some friends who got their carbon fiber spoiler and other accessories stolen as they are just glued or 3M taped.

you can pop it off with a credit card. when i bought my CF roundels i scuffed the back up with sandpaper and put a giant blob of silicone behind it before pushing it on. should make it harder to remove.

LoL. They'll probably be pissed and damage your car if they can't make their living.

Bagelfast · 05-09-2010, 08:36 AM

WOW, i wasnt going to make a thread about this but my new E90 2010 LCI M-sport 335i, i left it in front of my school, i mean right in front, from 8-12 with kids walking on the side walk next to it all day long and the security house about 20 feet away and when i come back to my car, the front and back badges are gone! but thanks god they didnt scratch my car.
So stupid... i was pissed but then happy they didnt damage my car.

Alexander · 05-09-2010, 10:43 AM

Yup sucks. Be glad that they knew what they were doing and didn't scratch or break anything!!!

Happened to my Dad last week as well.

that sucks...

same thing happened to me, dealer replaced it for free

e90carbon · 05-09-2010, 06:51 PM

To be honest, I park my BMW near a school and in front of a friend office that have a camera surveillance and sometimes I watch it, many times I see kids and youngster (12-17) doing things to my BMW like putting hands on it, hammering with their hands on the trunk, trying to scratch with their bags....
Thes kids are the worst, even teenage girls laught when the boys do their bad stuff to the car. So don't think it's those adults that do things to your car but kids, be aware.
