Deer vs E90 @ 65 mph

spanner1751 · 11-03-2012, 08:28 PM

Glad you're OK.

Laguna Seca Blue · 11-03-2012, 09:04 PM

Crap that's very scary. I'm surprised no one's mentioned that the deer appears to have hit the windshield. If you we're going much faster, this could have ended very badly.

michaelalex17 · 11-03-2012, 09:08 PM

that damage doesnt look that bad for hitting a deer at 65. gotta love the germans

Jt6564 · 11-03-2012, 10:01 PM

Ouch! Glad you're okay!

Soikiu · 11-03-2012, 10:02 PM

Wow... glad you're ok.
Is that blood splatter on your airbox?

so you turned left?

Do you plan on convincing the shop you can get upgraded parts for cheaper or do you want them to just do a complete OEM repair?

I talked with them already and IF the car is salvageable ill pay for upgrades.

Ha that would have been much cooler. No its coolant. His head hit my radiator and his ass bashed my windshield.

monkawekrue · 11-04-2012, 02:49 PM

yeah i would of gotten out the car after and kicked the shit out of his corpse for a while. just sayin.

Glad you are okay!

Consider yourself very lucky it wasn't a moose! Feel bad for the deer.

Don't think the car is damaged that bad. if roof and pillars aren't bent, it might be ok to fix radiator etc.

Performance front and performance grilles can be a way to go. Nothing wrong with having a brand new radiator, windscreen and bonnet, plus some hoses under the turnk and new engine cover. An Indy shop would repair it easily but who knows... might be your lucky chance to get yourself into an F30.

Hunter51092 · 11-04-2012, 03:48 PM

if your gona part out, lmk how much for the deer

nrrm1127 · 11-04-2012, 04:18 PM

I've used Daniels Collision before, they do good work and you should be good hands. Had a very similar collision myself just like that (similar damage) and Daniels repaired it to better than new. They're also the only BMW NA certified repaired center in PA.

The accident happened at 3:05 am and at 3:25 there was a man with a pickup asking if he could have the Deer. I am not kidding... Central PA is no joke, they love roadkill.

Gus and Jim-Bob (I assume these were their names) towed my car back to Allentown and were both pissed I didn't save the animal for them.

Came looking for that too..
