yeah man, the one i have is the FineVu CR-500 HD (1080p)

i got it from www.blackboxmycar.com

havent had any issues with it. from what i read its about the best one they sell. image quality is pretty good. although its tough to read licence plates unless the car is fairly close to you.

it looks kinda big in pictures but its actually really small when you get it. (about 1.2"X 2.5", cylinder shaped) and barely noticeable from outside. i ran the power cable through the pillar and down to the cigarette lighter jack, but you can have it hard wired for more neat appearance, i just didnt bother.

i think some people even have one pointing out the rear view window as well, for rear end hits.

the cool thing is the mount for it is on a swivel so you can twist it 90 degrees and film races.

has a built in mic.

I just saw this thread. So sorry for you, Dave! Damn bastards should be fed to the dogs. Take it easy my man, I feel for your babe. Let's hope the law catches up with them soon...

You need a Trunk Monkey! Go watch the commercials for some good humour and also because you probably need one for Mika. A video cam might be nice, but a Trunk Monkey solves your problems real time. Just sayin'...

Sorry to hear, hang in there dude.

Dave,
So sorry that this happened to your car. I enjoy reading your posts and especially liked the vids of your rolling races. Mika sounds incredible. To quote something I read in another forum, "man makes BMW, man can fix BMW".

So sorry to hear that Dave. Hope youre back up and running soon. Haters and thieves should all be shot.

ucla95 · 08-31-2014, 08:06 PM

Really uncool

shahano · 09-01-2014, 03:35 AM

Hey Dave, sorry about that. I hope the fingerprints will lead to finding the culprits.

akh23456 · 09-02-2014, 07:18 AM

sorry to hear about your car dave hope they catch the a$$holes.

miringrains · 09-02-2014, 07:25 AM

Saw location, wasnt surprised. Honestly there isnt much you can do about things like this, although the sad part is if I saw someone doing something like that to my car I would probably end up literally killing them out of rage. Thank god for insurance.

C's Bimmer · 09-02-2014, 09:41 AM

I just don't get people -- it's such an invasion of privacy, especially when it happens at your home. Very sorry to hear this -- I know the feeling.

But hey - look on the brightside -- now you get to surprise us with all your new mods and the transformation.

DrewM5 · 09-02-2014, 10:49 AM

Hard to understand the motivation or satisfaction in this. Reality is that none us will be able to because we simply are not wired that way.

Hey man, life just gave you a lemon so start mixing up some (hard) lemonade. Maybe it will be fun to go another color direction with the new wrap. You can be the man with 2 of the most unique F10 M5 set ups.

Dionysus · 09-03-2014, 09:59 AM

Very sorry to read about this; hope you get everything sorted soon and can put this behind you.

RPiM5 · 09-03-2014, 11:10 AM

Thanks for all of the support guys. Taking Mika to the hospital today.

Luminor513 · 09-03-2014, 11:57 AM

People who vandalize cars should should be sent to Guantanamo Bay.

Dave, she will be fine soon

RPiM5 · 09-03-2014, 04:43 PM

Took Mika to the hospital today. Gonna take a couple of weeks to get the new parts in and replace them. Sounds like my installers are going to re-wrap the affected areas as a goodwill to Mika. So things are starting to look up.

Also I would like to say that driving without a sideview mirror is hard! Almost got into an accident on the way to the hospital and then some idiot decided to cut me off on my passenger side just as I was trying to merge without a sideview mirror. American drivers I tell ya!
