Unbelievable.. do you have anything to go on?

I know there is hardly a proper resolution to this, but keep updating. Best of luck.

The way it's been hit looks really awkward. Looks like it can be some sort of a lifted truck. Which often times are owned by ruthless people so ya never know ??

Look around, any cameras?

That's two members this week who have had their cars damaged by low life types. This pisses me off and it's not my car. I can only imagine how angry you must be. I hope you get a quality repair job and maybe find out who did this.

The good news is the fender is bolt on. Take it to a certified BMW repair shop. They'll get the paint right too.

all US Zeds have the red circle (reflector) on both the front and rear bumpers.. not sure why, probably something to do with ADR's in the US.. easy way for me to tell if a zed has been imported from the US. (after sale) .most guys either fibreglass it up and do it properly, or there are paint colour stickers available to cover it up.

Mine only has a reflector on the rear bumper, no reflector on the front. I've seen other US Zeds with an orange reflector at the edge of the front bumper, but it's mostly on Z4M's. I don't really know why some have it and some don't.

If it was parked on the street, it could've been hit as someone was backing out of the driveway on the other side of the road. I've seen this happen a few times on narrow residential streets in the Northeast.
