Never fails... tree limb vs front bumper/fender

AviatorBimmerFL · 07-12-2016, 06:21 PM

Going home from work, I ran over a tree limb on the edge of the road and these are the results. Inner liner was also ripped off and damaged the connectors for the right fog lamp and TPMS system. Both also lit up on my dashboard with malfunction warnings.

After further inspection, tire has a bulge on the sidewall and my car is now vibrating. I wonder if suspension or control arms were damaged?

It never fails, now that I wanted to upgrade the suspension on my car, this happens. With a $1000 deductible, it will set me back a good chunk of change.

On the bright side, I can finally move from my current M3 replica front bumper to a M-Sport one.

Actually it wasn't too big. I guess it got caught up in the well and did the damage as it rattled around.
