Sorry about your car. I hope they catch those a@@holes.

I just don’t understand why someone would buy a $40k car and not garage it especially in a high crime area. Perhaps it’s just me but I would secure a place to keep the car before I bought it. I live in rural Idaho where there is very little crime but I would never leave my cars out at night.

Anyway sorry for your loss and hope you can learn from this event.

^For many city dwellers, garaging is simply not an option. There's only so much space.

WTF... Are you an idiot? How many people in NYC have garages? Some people just don't. You live in frigging idaho and stupidly judge a guy that is asking for help and you have no clue about him. Wake up.

I don't understand why any BMW owner would use that FONT!

I'm with EVICE all the way. Dear IDBMW: Pls read the whole posting b4 doin any quick reply bc you don't have a CLUE what the hell ur tlkin about. Here it is my friend: From Pg 2 Post # 34.
Country Club is up in the North East corner of the Bronx. My gf lives there and I live across the water on City Island and both are generally regarded as "car safe" neighborhoods. Apparently its becoming an issue in her neighborhood though, as 3 or so other cars have been hit in the last couple of weeks.

So, as you can see above, is not his fckin house & that might be the reason why he has 2 park on the street????? DAH!!!! EVICE is right......WAKE UP, you idiot.

Well, there is security footage of the job being done. That'll be turned over to the cops. I fear that if I saw the license plate of the offending car, I'd go vigilante on the guilty party and land myself in jail. As it was mentioned by the guy from Texas, scoped rifles are hard to legally acquire in NYC and completely illegal to shoot at people on the street unless they are without a doubt going to shoot you. Thankfully the local politicains are responding to this incident and are using me as their "last straw" kind of guy and have been making a big deal about it because they don't want to have their districts considered unsafe.

Oh, and to the guy from Idaho, if I were less mature I would reply to your insightful comment with some unkind words, but since so many other people on the forum have obliged my request and continue to alert me to questionable ads on craigslist and eBay, I'll ignore your comment and continue to thank those who have been helpful in this otherwise infuriating situation.

Thank you to all you guys who have taken their time to look at the listings and point out suspicious postings and ads. So far no luck but who knows. I'm guessing that the wheels are in a chop shop in Hunts Point by now, where the dirtbags likely got about 50 bucks per wheel.

[mkPOTO]

dam that sucks

[20YRSDREAM]

Attention: Dirtbags.......Hell is ready for you guys to go inside & get BURN. Would you like medium or rare? btw, for $50/per rims is better to sell yr Butthole on 42nd street in (NYC) as a man (whore) than stealing rims bc if ur in prison anyway might as well do it 4 $ right, assholes!!!

Well at least that's good news. Hopefully they weren't out ripping off your wheels in a stolen car. But you can't rule that out either I guess....

Mockba you're an idiot in the way you think and write.

Not all immigrants are thieves.

They were talking about the fact that he accused an immigrant of doing the bad deed... I agree it is a sucky ass comment...

What a bullshit excuse. That's what insurance is for. God knows you pay enough for it if you live in the NY/NJ area. I live in a really quiet block, and there are no garages at all in my neighborhood.... they are all older houses.

I park my car in the backyard most times, but that is because I am more concerned with a young kid on the block accidentally hitting it with a football or baseball.

Ya.. It would kill me to park my car outside... I would have to wash it everyday...

Sorry if I offended anyone, that was not my intention. I just think a nice car needs a garage to be safe. No one ever came into my garage and stole anything. But if you can not put a garage on your property that would be a problem.

[Evice]

Glad you realized the mistake.. But you need to visit NYC urgently what property are you talking about ? lol

You would be surprised then to hear that more cars are stolen out of garages and your own driveways more than back alleys and city streets.

If a thief wants your car, or your car parts, bad enough they WILL get it, no matter where its parked.

[1speedbike]

I'm really sorry man. I have a set of wheel locks sitting around, never installed. I figure if someone's that desperate, they're gonna go for it. It's such an unlikely thing to happen though. You'd think thieves would be more on the lookout for giant chrome rims on SUVs etc, not ones we would consider nice such as yours. Hopefully you'll take comfort in knowing that at least whoever wronged you had good taste? In all seriousness, though, I'm very sorry. If you ever need to form a posse and go vigilante, I'd be in.

lmfao, that's hilarious. I suppose that is one way of looking at it. Too bad there are only two other 1ers around and the wheels won't fit anything else.

What is killing me now though is those rims are out of stock on tirerack and I either have to add money for Breytons, shell out tons of cash for advans, or get the black BR05s. Of course, I'm going to put these rims in my house, and drive around on steelies until the day of a meet and then swap my wheels on.

You Boise guys are lucky with the space and cheap cost of living. It's not like that in NY. Maybe thats why I'm moving to Boise in October

Oh and I will totally be getting a garage in Boise, but it will probably not fit the car, only the car parts.
