E90post members' efforts help recover stolen 335i - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

nybsbl04 · 10-20-2009, 12:12 PM

Guys,

New here, but outside my apartment, for the past three weeks there has been an AW 335i Coupe with its sunroof cracked open sitting on 96th and 2nd avenue in a no parking zone. It maybe has about 20+ tickets now.

Pictures are attached with the license plate - CALIFORNIA LICENSE PLATE: 6H0J642.

It looks like it has different BMW wheels and tinted windows.

Please help ID this so NYPD can impound the car or contact the owner so it doesn't incur any damage.

Thanks all,

Tom

good first post, but this should go in the NY sub forum thread. thanks for looking out

nybsbl04 · 10-20-2009, 12:19 PM

The car is located in NYC.

blacknight335 · 10-20-2009, 12:20 PM

someone help, if not now every knows where they can get parts for their car lol...

Stolen? No true owner of an e92 could ever abandon his or her baby like that.

PoorMan · 10-20-2009, 12:43 PM

Hope the authority's checkout that car soon or they may have another walmart type incident..http://www.ktnv.com/global/story.asp?S=10960679

Not so.. You'd be surprised of what some people do..To get out of a loan etc..

D0WNxiSH1FT · 10-20-2009, 12:45 PM

Finders keepers? Guarantee the tickets are less than MSRP. haha

TiAg335i · 10-20-2009, 12:48 PM

What the hell? so the cops just keep adding tickets and more tickets to a vehicle that obviously doesn't have an owner? Why don't they use common sense and impound it?

Oh but no, they will wait until somebody jacks the car because they know no one will come looking for it.

montreal red · 10-20-2009, 12:54 PM

looks like its got style 230 wheels... i am sure someone's going to jack those soon when they realised the car has been left there for so long.

Cresponium · 10-20-2009, 12:57 PM

Three weeks? And no one has run the VIN to see the original owner/lessee?

The car is on a very populated street that is always well lit. Stealing would be a hard sell, and its parked on a steep decline.

so im already on a plane....Dibs on the wheels!

Dwill335i · 10-20-2009, 01:56 PM

If the NYPD had any interest in finding the owner or doing anything with the car, I would think they could just run the plate themselves.

So someone here runs the VIN or plate and finds the last owner of record. Then what?

TT3 iN NyC · 10-20-2009, 02:04 PM

Maybe its a bait car to see if anyone would try to steal it. Once they're in and drive off, cops disengage the engine, car shuts down and you get nabbed.

HIGHLY doubtful, unless you plan on flat bedding the car...The last time I checked, most modern cars are nearly impossible to hotwire...I would assume if it were a true sting they would use something like a honda accord or Camry, as those are generally the top 1-2 stolen cars in the US.

True true, sounds reasonable...

MCMLXXXIX · 10-20-2009, 03:49 PM

take the 230s

sad tho, and i agree...no true owner would leave their e92 like that

blue-coupe · 10-20-2009, 06:30 PM

There is an M6 & a CL63 that just sit in the parking lot of my building gathering dust.

I think they belong to some basketball players that keep a loft there for when they are in town.

It seems like a crime to me though.

nybsbl04 · 10-20-2009, 08:43 PM

VIN:

Last 7 digits: P044578

Please let me know what it comes up as.
