Forgot to set the parking brake firmly enough on my new-to-me 135i while shuffling cars around. Car slowly rolled down the driveway and snuggled itself against a tree. Thankfully on a few scuffs that will buff out...

When you are driving with the top down, and your golden locks are blowing in the wind, no one will notice the scuffs and dents on the side of the car

It’s ok, it’s just an E21
Although I always thought they were underrated...bmw had some cool turbo silhouette cars in the late 70s
