Drunk Driver = M Sport Upgrade

X2 Monstah · 09-08-2014, 03:39 PM

Sorry, no pics yet, but while on vacation in Massachusetts my brother-in-law was driving us home from dinner in my car and we got run off the road by a drunk driver. Hit a sign and bounced through a ditch, but the car was still drivable. The guy ran, so my insurance is responsible. I'm out $1,000 deductible, but my wife and I are fine (a black eye and a concussion for me; I think I bounced off the passenger window or maybe the dash). The good thing out of all this is the damaged parts (entire front bumper and grilles and the driver's side rocker) need to be replaced, so I am having an entire M Sport appearance package installed instead of the Sport Line pieces. It is only going to cost me the difference in parts and labor, which at most is $300 and maybe less depending on where they order the package! I'll try to get before and after pictures when it is complete.

Those f***in drunk drivers!!

Fuck drunk drivers man...
Glad you're ok though.

I'm seriously considering on getting a dash cam for my car. It could help in situations like this.

This.

Because if it's a single car accident (no contact with other car), it's basically your word against...

Don't think just buy it.
I got hit by a guy from behind. At least I have proof of me being stopped at red light n getting hit from behind. Then clicked pictures.

New england is the worst for drunk/intoxicated drivers. Glad you're ok. That's why they call them Massholes

Everyone - Thanks for the well wishes. Sorry about making light of the incident. Drunk driving is nothing to joke about. Following up on the incident, he was later found by police and charges with multiple moving violations and leaving the scene, but it was too late to charge him with DUI. Without that DUI arrest, most likely he'll be out drinking and driving again, probably this weekend. Yes, this guy will probably get his someday, but let's hope it is not at the expense of an innocent family on the road.

You're right, I'm currently looking for one that's inconspicuous...
I'm using my GoPro for now

A camera would have saved me a lot of headache with my last accident.

I did a lot of research on this and I came up with this model.

I bought the 32GB one.
I ordered it on phone with the authorized distributor in Brooklyn NY.
http://www.rearviewsafety.com/

They gave me $100 discount, so the final cost to me was $260 for 32 GB.

Interesting... thanks for the links!

They actually look pretty nice. How big is installed?
Do you have any pictures of it in your car?

Hey Gds, how 'bout them pics?

m_alnimah · 09-20-2014, 02:41 AM

Wow!! Glad y'all are okay... I really do suggest getting a Dash Cam!! Keep us Posted!!

Glad you're ok,

I figure since we're mentioning upgrades here, I just picked up a 2015 F36 with M Sport, I am looking at upgrading to cross drilled and slotted rotors, I currently have stainless steel stock rotors on my M Sport, curious if anyone has interest in them, only have 1700 miles on the set.

When you head to the dealer for service since you'll have these installed on your car they will have to replace them with the same being they're factory so for a 335 this would be an upgrade, they're M Sport so the MM may be slightly bigger than factory 335 non stainless zinc coated, I hate the sight of rust and figure this would be worth looking into for anyone with a 335 non M Sport.
