In Reply to: Get a beater car to drive to this job location. posted by Leo 323Ci on January 01, 2001 at 04:43:48:

my college is 4 miles away from house.
primary Safe job is 2 miles away from house
and my second shit job is 15 miles away.
when i'm at home, i could leave my car unlocked, nothing ever happens. Well i shouldn't say that, since the mailbomber hit a coulple houses behind mine.



A car that has almost no value at all. It might have some other benefits such as taking miles off your Bimmer, and making you appreciate how good of a car your Bimmer is every day you drive the beater car.

Hey guys, Everyone have a happy and safe New year.

So far I've had a horrible day. I tell you BMW should def do something about the way they make the door lock on the driver side. How cheep is this made, Perhaps they should invest their money in making the locks titanium so they don't break so easily.
this is the second time they ripped out the lock and got in my car. This time they didn't steal anything but my aftermarket remote control for headunit and the bmw user manual. How rediculous is that. The alarm went off, when they opened the door and my pager went off, but by the time i got there, they were gone and my friends honda got stolen.
Even on new years eve. Unbelievable. But anway, I'm thinking about having an autobody just make that handle have no lock like the passengers, so theres nothing to rip into. That way i'll just carry the two keys that bmw provides with me and when one battery dies, i'll use the other one, Does that make any sense to anyone.

If they keep using this method to break into my car, and not steal the car. then if we illiminate this technique, could we possibly prevent this from reaccuring.
The other option of course is to quit my job there. I mean 400 bucks to repair the lock every time can sure add up, not to mention the damage to the inside they cause.
Any thoughts?
