Well, this hasn't happened to me before...

Huecifer · 05-06-2014, 06:20 PM

On the way to work today, noticed a grinding sound when I got off the highway. Thought I had a flat tire. Didn't expect a 2ft spear of rebar sticking out of my bumper.

On a related note, anyone selling a Space Gray 128i M-Sport bumper?

Also, don't hate on the wheel dust... That's only 8-days worth!!!!

Holy hell!

Be happy that didn't go through your radiator (or windshield for that matter)

E82135i · 05-06-2014, 06:38 PM

WTF?!

PopsnBurbles · 05-06-2014, 06:40 PM

Your 1er got SHAFTED! Lol okay enough with the lame joke/pun...but yeah, you're lucky that it punctured that (trivial) spot and not a vital part

Greenkirby21 · 05-06-2014, 06:47 PM

yikes! glad you are ok though! A little bit more and it might have impaled your tire

ShocknAwe · 05-06-2014, 06:52 PM

Adam135 · 05-06-2014, 06:55 PM

many years ago I hit a bowling ball that fell out of the bed of a truck... that was scary but this might be a whole new level

arcticcat522 · 05-06-2014, 08:26 PM

rking117 · 05-06-2014, 09:01 PM

I think duck tape'ell fix it

jclaib7 · 05-06-2014, 09:18 PM

Dr. Color Chip. Dab next to the chip/hole and wipe onto the chip/hole. Repeat 4,200 times.

Chunner · 05-06-2014, 09:38 PM

Now you have custom brake ducting. Coolest mod every =P!

cmcdonald · 05-06-2014, 09:58 PM

So that's how we add a dipstick to these cars.... But in all seriousness that sucks. Glad it wasn't worse. I had something fall of the L and break my windshield so I feel your pain.

KNTDRV · 05-07-2014, 08:07 AM

A little adjustment and it will make a great "curb feeler"...no more curb rash on the rims! Just kidding of course.

inFamousKicks · 05-07-2014, 09:16 AM

Lmaaoooo I'm laughing so hard. How does that even happen!?

Glad you're okay tho

A_Squared · 05-07-2014, 09:16 AM

Best splitter ever! Haha. That's just crazy. Surprised you didn't hear anything when it impacted

MZWIE · 05-07-2014, 02:11 PM

How did you not hear that thing when it hit the car.

MightyMouseTech · 05-07-2014, 02:12 PM

Holy shit! Glad that didn't go through...........you!

ShocknAwe · 05-07-2014, 02:16 PM

In all seriousness, how long is the rebar in total? Looks totally stable which means there's more inside...

KellyK · 05-08-2014, 11:49 AM

holy crap! that is nuts. i have a white non-msport 128i bumper i can sell you. good condition. let me know if you're interested.

shah269 · 05-14-2014, 07:56 AM

Holy jesus on a stick!
WTF is that and where did it come from and WHY is it there!
Would this be one of those act of god things insurance is good at saying no to?
