I didn’t have a very good experience with Carruba. Their paint work is acceptable-to-good, but they seem to half ass putting the car back together.

Meh, there are bigger scrapes, structurally, but that is pretty shitty. I want a 335i someday

Ha. They hit me.  
Thankfully all have been low speed. I’ve rolled up on two hoods and had one passenger mirror smashed off into my back.

They bent up quite easily last winter and this winter, simply hitting small potholes, these four are toast as well. I have a feeling that the RunFlat winter tires and the stiff sidewall is putting all of that energy directly to the rim ☹

Funny, I have had those wheels for 3 seasons without issue and love them. They are my favorite “cheaper” wheel I have ever bought. The finish on them is great, it really cleans up well after all the salt and snow.

I feel your pain…

Hit and Run V. A4 happened on Elmwood right near Allen on Saturday night. To top it off I just buffed out some paint from another asshole who hit the car probally in the parking ramp in the same place ugh.

I though maybe it was caught on one of the cameras the city has and called the police. They said they do not investigate ANY vechicle accidents, and if I wanted to report it was just for insurance purposes.
