I'll get hi-res picture of the damage tomorrow. The dents are every where and look really sad.

Sorry to hear it Mav.

Let me try and blow some sunshine up your ass!

Look at it as an opportunity to go for that custom paint job with the flames and skulls or whatever.

Chrome paint?

BMW art car?

I would love to spend that money to get my windows fixed first. Or hell, atleast a transmission swap. I might just hit a junk yard though, and have miscolored parts on my car. I'm more concerned about getting it back to normal. Paint is last on my mind. I don't even have a single scratch from the hail. It's just dents EVERYWHERE.

Yikes Mav, that really sucks. I can't believe your boss wouldn't let you move the car, obviously it's your personal property, which you don't want destroyed, what a jerk.

I say, start going to the junk yards looking for parts and panels. Your mirror broke, that just means you got to get those E34 mirrors now. Maybe try one of those DIY dent removal things.

Dear Mav, I am so sorry about your car! I agree with lysergynics or whatever his name is. Choking on his own d----, YES!!!!! i have felt like doing that to some of my colleagues in my orchestra. But hey, I'm just a chick.
You should make that car run again and park it next to the son of a b!@#$ every day until he pays you big bucks for a new car!
i can't believe it.
REALLY SORRY

I don't care if any of those methods destroy the paint. I'm considering a new paint job since green isn't my favorite color. Those guides show that it takes out big dents. But I wonder if it will take out the little ones too.

Man, I am so sorry about your car, having seen my car wrecked I know how it feels. If I were you I would look into legal actions against the company, talk to a lawyer, they won't charge you just to talk to them, see if they can do anything about it. It is your personal property that was damaged, and considering you only had liability the court may be sympathetic.

Any of you that say he could not sue over this, shut it, cause in America you can sue over anything, and win some of the most ridiculous ones.

Good luck man. (Also if all else falls through you could totally stab all of his tires, break his windshields and kick dents into all of his doors, but not before keying his car to the equivalent of a zebra.)

Good luck Mav, I went through all the stuff in my garage, and I have the following stuff if you want it;

OEM Roundel
Black power mirrors (normal OEM)
Stock Stereo amp

Only things I have that you mentioned that were damaged...

That freakin sucks bigtime Mav, I wish there was something I could do to help. The only thing I have that may be useful to you would be the sunroof panel. I have a silver one, but there's no dents on it. Perhaps if everyone here could pull together and donate something, you could get it fixed for very cheap and then just have to pay to get it resprayed.

Thanks, I let you know when I'll need them.

As for the roundel. Well the funny thing is, the hail made a dent right in the middle of the crosshairs of the roundel. Almost exactly in the middle. Unfortunately it still looks out of place because of how deep the dent is, even though it's the size of a dime.
