Actually I got her plate number and it doesn't match the car. I was on the phone with SFPD during the chase and they advised me to stop pursue because I might get into an accident I doubt that they are going to do anything. Insurance said they will cover the bumper under the uninsured motorist provision, so everything will be fine.


Sounds like you kept your cool and everything will work ok. Good for you!

The woman had 2 small kids strapped in car seats? How completely sad...:confused:

I thought exactly the same thing.

That and I watched both movies (1 & 2) today... :)

u need to be careful in those sort of things- people will do all sorts of things to us BMW folk and some will shoot back- glad u are ok. (Yes i am a hypocrite- did the same thing when a commercial vehicle sideswiped my car and scratched my new rims on my X5- and I am in DC- chased their azz all over DC on 395 to 295 and was calling the company number and tried their boss had to get them to pull over- unfortunately their English was horrible but I am fluent in Spanish so I cussed them out in English AND SPANISH!)

wow, that sucks. I hate it when people try to avoid the consequences of their actions, especially by running away like that. When I first got my X someone backed into it in a parking lot and started to drive off. I ran up to the car and they refused to acknowledge me, so I sat on their hood until the police came. I knew they wouldn't take off with me on the hood, and if they did, I'd be soooooo pissed that they would have had another huge problem on their hands. People need to respect those who take care of their cars and are careful with them, and not drive off after THEY f*** up!

That's horrible! And to think she had children in the vehicle, just unbelievably irresponsible of her. Thank goodness you're not injured, and that your insurance will take care of it.

Similar thing happened to me. I was driving on the highway when some kid in a honda civic riced out beyond comprehension. Cuts me off and gives me the finger. So i give him the finger and think nothing of it. So we are driving and an exit was coming up. He swerves at me and throw a metal pipe about 18ins long and 1.5inches thick at my X5 and hits my bumper. Then he punches it and flys down the exit. So i got in pursuit. It was a long offramp and very curvy. The kid had it sideways and almost lost it wjile i was on his bumper totally relaxed. I wasnt even pushing it. I falled him for a few miles and we passed a cop. The cop comes after both of us. So i pull over and the kid kept going. So im telling the cop the story and what do you know the kid comes back and comes out of the car saying that i was chasing him trying to run him off the road. Needless to say. The cop believed me and arrested the kid towed his car. He gave me a warning for driving to fast and then thanked me for catching the kid. He said the kid had a warrant out for drug possesion.

Police found the guy whose plates was on the car, but he said someone stole it a few days ago. Don't know if it's a story or what. But I think unfortunately that's all the cops are going to do. Oh well.......

Thanks for all the support!!!

maybe it was britney spears... o i forgot she doesn't use car seats

A happy ending to a potentially dangerous situation. The kid could have pulled out a gun instead of throwing a pipe. He could also have crashed his $1000 vehicle into your X5. It's not like a drugged out kid cares about the consequences.
