Backed into... not even 3 weeks old
SUV backed into brand new 2020 M5 Comp at my son's karate class today
Not even 3 weeks old. At least he was nice enough to leave a note. First world problems.. Oh well. Still hurts |

Uh, that is sucks.
Doesn't seem to get to the hood. Hopefully just cosmetic damage.

Yeah, of course I was pissed. However, he was nice enough to leave a note. It would have been more painful to find it in the garage at home tonight or tomorrow without knowing anything happened. Having been hit before with serious damage to a previous car while parked with no note or contact info left behind, I tried to keep it in perspective

The first one always hurts.
I ripped my lower front bumper off on one side within the first month. Was rushed and distracted and turned early backing out of the garage. |

You are lucky that he left a note. I always try to park far away from everyone when I have to park in a public space. It does not always work, but it helps.

I thought about parking in the empty adjacent parking lot, but my wife said they were ticketing and towing people there. So I parked as carefully as I could to make sure there was a good amount of space between the cars adjacent to me... Well the person parked in the isle across from me backed into me.... Can't win sometimes

This sounds like a 12-step group... My name is Gassy... and it's been 6 months since my last accident. I was in a mountain resort, looking at the nav map to find a certain street... going 5 mph and ran into the back of one of those extended golf carts with a metal luggage rack. Only took out the hood, but it's like the heart of the car, the biggest piece of painted metal. About 4 grand for a new hood and paint job. Can't tell it happened, but I know. OK, time for coffee and donuts!

Getting rear bumper replaced next week. No note. Car two weeks old at the time. Now about a month into ownership. I definitely feel your pain.

Same thing happened to me! I was at a client site and it was the first time taking the car further than 10 miles. I parked all the way in the back corner and somehow still got hit.

Slow Walker is my boy and he texted me the night it happened. When I saw the text, I could not believe it happened and I immediately called him. He didn't answer because he said he was on the phone with the insurance company. Some people just can't drive, even with all the latest tech, rear cameras, etc (assuming the guy had rear cameras). We had just talked a couple days prior about meeting up with our cars and going for a drive. I told him that at least it's a lease and not financed, but knowing your brand new baby is no longer perfect really hurts.
Hopefully, you'll get the car back by early March.
