My active hybrid 3 was targeted and keyed this weekend.

I now have have a 'designer' key scratch around the car with the odd added score in the paint work 'for flair'.The vandal even kindly applied deep scores to my bonnet, boot, windscreen and side windows.

Yep it's a real good job done😡

Can anyone advise a camera security system that would record as much data around the car as possible?

I am concerned that the vandal may strike again.

Gutted.

Feeling for you Buddy. The ignorent sensless morons that do this sort of thing need to be set on fire.

Maplins seem to sell a lot of the security camera gear for what looks like reasonable prices. I havent any experience of using this stuff though.

Keep your eye out on eBuyer. I receive their daily offers email. They usually run a number of items on special offer every 24 hours. I noticed the other day they had a 2 camera system plus receiver with 500GB HDD for about £100. My next door neighbour had some issues recently and our drives are parallel to one another and we've been in conversation as to whether we get some cameras to cover each of our drives. I may consider it more once I have my 320D.

I do feel for you though, a previous partner of my sister had his car paint strippered by an ex-partner of his and it isn't a nice thing to see or have done to you. Hope you get it sorted and catch the culprit.

Thank god for insurance, but the irritating thing is your premium may rise due to claiming for this, which isn't fair.

Do you have any idea who the perpetrator is?

Hi Janey,

Sorry to resurrect an this thread. I mentioned that eBuyer had a camera system on their daily offers. Well it's back. It should be £208 but it's down to £124.99. Looks a great bit of kit, here's the link.

      Use of an Airtag or Similar on the Key FOB ?

      Morning Rory I had to ask someone what this was, the guy I talked to is a Porsche/Merc Specialist he had only seen 2 in use, described it as a toy to help you track keys. He also said as they are bluetooth after about 30ft they are useless, he hadn't heard of interference or battery draining. So I guess it is a case of "you make your choice and pay your money" If it works let us know, if it causes headaches warn us 😅 Dave

      New Car New Questions

      Morning Oliver Welcome to the Forum Taking your points in order 1. Simple answer NO the gas struts assist and hold the tailgate open but were never designed to open it. A powered tailgate is a different beast altogether, not sure if you can retrofit a powered tailgate if all the loom is there it should be possible but someone with software will need to enable it. 2. Pan roofs were/are well known for their problems, there are repair kits available but if you are not into DIY it may be best to talk to a specialist check the register of BMW Specialists they are normally about half Dealer costs 3. I take it you have checked all bulbs and there is no sign of corrosion were the bulbs mount. I would check the loom where it passes from the tailgate into the body near the hinges it isn't unknown for wires to crack and break after years of opening and closing the tailgate. A fairly straight forward repair depending on your soldering skills. you will need to remove trim to carry out repairs Hope this helps Dave

      New Car New Questions

      Hi guys, newbie to the forum, but just purchased a lovely 2007 530i and had a few questions I was hoping you might be able to help with: 1. with new struts, will the boot fully open when unlocking with the key? I have small kids and that would be a huge benefit, but don't want to invest if not possible. 2. the large panoramic sunroof tilts but doesn't go back, is it worth trying to fix yourself, or better to let a specialist look at it? Assume it's the motor, but not sure how big a job that is. 3. I have a service light for the rear right reverse light, I changed the bulb, light remained on, then I realised if I open the boot with the engine running 3 further issues present themselves (left number plate light, right number plate light, right rear fog light) - assume this is due to dodgy wiring, but can't find where the wiring runs - any help greatly appreciated. Really appreciate any help with these, cheers.

      Faulty drivers door handle

      Hi Stuart Welcome to the Forum If you aren't aware take a look at www.realoem.com it is a BMW online parts list put the last 7 digits of your Vin into the search box it will call up your model then look in the Trim section You should find small exploded drawings that will give you an idea of how things fit together. My guess would be either something like a broken clip or something loose. Good Luck Dave
