Behavior like that is fueled out of jealousy and spite, and its been my experience that its too common. Especially today as generation Y grows up with a profound sense of narcissism and entitlement, and complete lack of respect for others.
In college in 2007? Then the wise choice for a college car for you is a 1996 Accord. Hold the fart can exhaust and rear wing please.
I don't know if you've ever owned a BMW, but I have had mine spat on, and thrash thrown on them more than thrice. There's a lot of sorry assness in the world today, which is why I'm really leaning toward a VW Eos with a VR6, to be low key and fly under the radar, especially as the wealth/class gap widens. Run silent run deep my friend.

Wolfman, I thought you were over that damn Eos....lol Its all good though.
Anyway, I can honestly say the 135i is waaay too much car for college. I got my s2k during my sophmore year of college at19yrs old. It was my first fast/expensive/convertible/reliable car. It was my first manual too(my first 2 cars were auto) I was known on campus as that dude. I went nuts. Young people tend to do stupid things in general...its normal, and we learn from them and have fun...hehe. I mean I drove it to hell, went 146mph on a lonely road, packed two girls into 1 seat,drifting,driving home from endless parties, etc. I mean stupid sh*t. I mean it couldnt be less appropriate of a car. I'm just fortunate I didnt hurt myself or anybody else and the car is in tip-top shape. I wouldnt want to risk it with my brand new BMW. Other people on campus were so fortunate. If anything, I'd look at the 128i. Then uprade when u graduate.
