the matte black grilles still look salvageable.

joking aside, good to hear you came out okay.

This makes me wonder if I'd survive a deer coming through the window since my car is pretty low... =X

I wish... they both snapped in half.

So preliminary estimates are around 9,000 in damage (labor included)

I am hoping for suggestions on mods since my SA at Daniels is all about updating the appearance of my 328.

I am torn between the OEM m package bumper or the m3 rep from **********s.

I also decided that since my stock intake is trashed and a 300$ upgrade to the BMW performance one is a must.

Any suggestions, ideas etc... are appreciated!

Go OEM M-Sport. BMW Performance Intake is more than $300...

My intake is trashed so a new OEM one is around 550. So I pay the difference to upgrade, about 300, since insurance picks up the 550. Net cost 850.

Poor deer !

Car has insurance lol

mapleridge · 11-08-2012, 11:43 PM

get the bmw performance front. closer look to m3 and more unique than mtech or m3 rep.

Would you be able to sell the harness on your smashed headlight? I need the inner harness.

Cbozz · 11-08-2012, 11:55 PM

soeey bud!

Deer don't sue.

bo1o02 · 11-09-2012, 12:23 PM

I really hate deers. It took out my accord and my lexus is 350, i hope it doesn't do it to the bmw. But I feel the deer family is on the look out for me.

Frank2808 · 11-09-2012, 12:25 PM

Glad you're ok! A question I've been wondering. Does insurance restore your car to factory condition? Or do you have some say-so in what parts are used.. say you had an M3 rep hood on the car or a set of after market rims that got damaged?

I can't speak for aftermarket parts on cars (I assume they are not covered unless you have a specific Rider on your policy for such a thing)

My insurance is trying to find used or aftermarket parts that can be used to reduce the cost of the repair, but nothing is set in stone yet.

Jaime_E90 · 11-09-2012, 01:26 PM

Damn!

~XxTeexX~ · 11-09-2012, 04:46 PM

oh deer god... glad ur ok! im curious did u actually experience the"deer in the headlight" or some might say the blue steel look?

ritjeff · 11-09-2012, 05:08 PM

Expensive meat tenderizer!

AGood22 · 11-10-2012, 10:26 PM

I'm actually from the area in Lancaster and last winter I hit one in my truck and literally ripped it to pieces without scratching my truck... And I was going 80.. My friend has a 2006 330xi and she was going 30 and hit a deer.. $3000 damage.. I love my BMW but my truck is my choice for the winter!

isd8266 · 11-11-2012, 09:17 AM

That sucks man. I have to drive through the country to get to work every morning and haven't hit a deer yet, but it is one of my biggest fears. Hopefully it works out in your favor.
