Came home tonight and found someone had pried the M badge off my car. Why? I see no point to this.

Sorry, just need to vent.

and if you caught them in the act....what could you do in the UK?

Some people are just jerks. At least the paint looks undamaged. You can probably buy a new one from BMW for $1000.00 plus installation.

So sad, some people are just haters. It could have been worse, they could have keyed your car.

Sorry to see this Buddy. As you say senseless, you can get one from Halfords for next to nothing. Is the paint damaged ?.

Haters gonna hate. I get a few mean stares when I'm not even driving athletically. And I always Park away from others even if I have to walk farther into places. I wish BMW would hurry up and add a recording system like Tesla.

Thanks everyone. Called the dealer and it's not too bad - the badge is £47 and they will fit it for free. I just hope they align it properly - they look very wrong if stuck on with the wrong spacing or alignment

I actually like the feature. Every time I walk by the charging area in our parking garage at work a little too closely, I feel like the paparazzi is snapping pictures of me with all the Tesla cameras going off

Took it to the dealer to get the badge fitted, turns out out they did scratch the boot when they stole the badge so it needs a respray.
