As someone who’s interacted with BMW drivers out on the road myself, they indeed “are something else.” That said, one driver in Oregon was walking out in a McDonald’s parking lot when he encountered an entitled BMW owner who was up to no good. The BMW was backing out and hit the person’s side mirror on the driver’s side, leaving it chipped and cracked. Without taking any responsibility, the culprit was ready to drive off when he realized the car’s owner caught him in the act.
When he pointed out the damage done to the side mirror, the offender’s cheeky reply was “It was already there, buddy.” When told that he literally saw him hit their mirror, “he just laughed it off, saying I was too close to the line.” After his minor hit-and-run, the shameless BMV owner drove off without concern or a care in the world. “Look at this a**hole’s smug face when I confronted him,” the victim angrily remarked, showing a photo he snapped during the encounter in the parking lot.
The uploaded picture has everything clear-cut in 4K: the man’s face and his BMW’s license plate. “Wonder if I should bother pursuing it as it’s his word against mine at this point…Should I just forget about it?” OP asks Reddit’s r/driving. “Don’t let it slide,” the top-upvoted comment reads, and over a hundred people agree. “It’s not just about the cost of the mirror,” a reply adds. “It’s that people shouldn’t get away with hitting someone else’s car and leaving.”
Several dozen users encourage OP to file a police report. “I was gonna let it go till I spoke with him and he was a huge jerk,” the broken car mirror’s owner remarked. Hopefully, the nearby McDonald’s has security footage of the parking lot, as that would definitely seal the deal for evidence against the BMV driver. While BMW owners definitely have a certain stigma about them, every hit-and-run culprit should be held accountable for their actions, no matter how minor.
