Dash Cam footage of my M3 hitting a truck tire!

[borijess3]

I was driving down the highway 65mph and hit a truck tire. I caught it on the dash cam. It scrapped the bottom of my bumper and broke a clip the hold the front plastic under panel. Do you know where I can get these plastic clips? Below are links to the dash cam video.

Looks like just a retread ply not a whole tire. You can buy those clips on amazon. Get a few extra to fill and holes you have in your rear wheel wells.

Do you have a link? What size should I get that will fit?

When I got home and checked the bottom again. It was not the plastic rivet that broke off. It was the fiber glass deflector that cracked. It has a lug not with washer that holds it together. Anyway to fix this?

More importantly... @borijess3 - are you driving on the Easy Entry profile?

I can't watch the dash cam and drive and the same time. I was parked sir.

Prior to clicking on the link I had a feeling it would be an empty highway and a single tire in a single lane.

Your comment, helped me reaffirm that before even clicking. Clicking was actually due to wanting to make sure you weren't being hyperbolic.

you did not disappoint. haha

D’oh! Silly me. It even shows Dashcam in the top right. I forget that we have in-car viewing these days!

mea culpa.

Remove a nearby screw with washer and take it in to Lowes, HD, or an autoparts store. Should be able to find a match.

The lug nut and washer are still attached. Cause the fiberglass has a crack the washer is unable to hold the fiber board. I was going to try a larger washer but could not get the lug nut and washer for some reason.
