I broke both mirrors off my e90!!!!

Sorry, I don't have pics.

I got a little Monaco Blue e90 (the little collectible) for my b-day and brought it to work to stare at all day.

That was a month ago. TODAY, I just noticed it has no side mirrors! Aaaaagh!

I searched my satchel (man-bag) and found both mirrors. As a non-crazy-collector I just threw it into my bag and brought it to work.

I knew I should've gotten that insurance!

So, should I try and fix it with super-glue or see if my parts shop will replace it? That IS pretty delicate for a match-box car.

Call your insurance company and take some macro pictures and see if they notice.

P.S. Superglue imo.

You should've sprung for the auto-fold mirrors option.

Sorry to hear of your loss.

The cat knocks mine off my desk against the wall all the time but I have been lucky it's still in one piece.

Did you file a police report? I heard on the news about new gang initiates having to knock off the mirrors of cars.

What color is the inside of your bag? It may help identify which gang resides there.

It may pay to let your insurance company know as well.

Sorry.
