Best Birthday Gift Ever

e90 seems like the place to vent lately huh? So i was returning home last night from an early birthday dinner, when, what must've been a 400+ pound deer leaps out in front of my car, i try to swerve out of the way but can not do so completely, the deer clips my front right end, the wheel locks up and i have no steering, i go sideways down an embankment. the car tips on the right side and just before it rolls over comes down on all fours, SO THANKFUL myself and my pass. are OKAY, BMW engineering at its best. the car took the brunt of the impact, walked away with just a frac rib. it could've been much,much worse if the car wouldn't have reacted so nimbly. if your in the South Jersey area, please be aware of these animals, they literally will jump out randomly and from anywhere, i never saw it coming and i am usually very aware of my surroundings while i drive. these deers must have death wishes. So my birthday gift to myself? 5k in damages

Drive safe.



hello mtech/vorsteiner hood?

That sucks! South Jersey is where I hit a deer.

What happened to the fender? Did pieces break off of it? I thought it was metal and would bend, not break.

So are you going to get a hunting rifle for your next birthday? Car vs. Deer never works out for the car.

Nope, the fenders are plastic. I'm guessing just to keep some extra weight off.

not sure what you are getting at, but my brother hit a smaller deer (probably 150-200lbs) and there wasnt a scratch on his car (granted he tapped it).... deer got up and hopped a fence and was out... all that was on the car was dirt from the deer.....

i am pretty sure rev doesnt know the exact weight of the deer but i dont get what the problem is... can you explain that a little??

hit it hitting 75mph?? 5 mph?? you know speed is the key to this equation.. like i said my brother hit a 150-200lb deer (literally stopped and rolled into it) and no damage at all...... i dont get why yagsiver335i (or 335irevisgay ....) has such a huge problem with the OP
