Posted by a redditer at r/BMW. Read the discussion he explains how his M235i got hailed on. Hopefully insurance covers it.

Physical tears would be coming from my eyes if that was my car! 2 months old and it already looks like that. I feel bad for the guy.

Hope he got the gap insurance. . .

You'd be surprised. It's more shock than anything when it happens.
I don't have any pictures, but my Kia got battered a month away from it's first birthday. Similar level of damage to this. It was devastating, but not tear worthy: ultimately it's still just a car.

If it was my car and insurance didn't cover it then I would just keep driving it. And I would track the living shit out of it.

When the crazy big hail storm hit St. Louis a few years ago, I remember sitting in the garage watching it batter the living hell out of my dad's truck and my van. My van fared well thanks to how think the steel on it is, the truck still looks like a golf ball three years later. Luckily it didn't break any mirrors or the windshield.

Most likely, it's totaled. Hopefully he will be able to get a similar replacement.

My windshield was cracked but not broken. Luckily I'd parked under a tree. A friend of mine had a 99 Miata totalled only 5 days after buying it.
My car spent 3 weeks in the shop, $8600 of damage

Rest in in Peace in peace?

But would you do so if this happened 2 months after you bought it new. Expecting years of joy from it.

It's either that or he really pissed off the local airsoft club.

The truck had something like $4500 but it never got fixed. Dad and Mom used the money on more pressing financial issues at the time, considering my dad was unemployed.

I would definitely be pissed!
But I'm just saying that if insurance didn't cover the repairs then I wouldn't want to pay thousands upon thousands of dollars for all those panels to be fixed/replaced out of my pocket. Once the broken window was replaced the car would be totally drivable. The damage would only be cosmetic. And since the body is already fucked might as well do track time on the weekends!

What about some racing on some gravel and dirt. I know its RWD but that would be good use of the already damaged body panels.

Yeah. It's a League of Legends term. It emphasizes how a situation can be so screwed for the person, it's like doubly screwed.
Hence the double peace they're in.

Lol I wonder what happens to cars on dealership lots that are damaged by events like this? Is it a free give away scenario? Free M235i's for everyone?!

Haha I wish. I bet dealerships have insurance for this kind of damage. Too risky for them not to...

Like the dimples on a golf ball, the hail dents will actually make it go faster!
