Thanks man, yes I am fine, no airbags thankfully, just hit the top part near the grill/hood. I was behind another car at a little difference at about 35-40mph and by the time I stopped it was too late, sad about the part that deer got hurt

Yikes. That sucks.

I recently had my bumper, hood, grilles and both headlights replaced from a minor fender bender. Almost identical damage...

Total repair bill was just about $5k

Bill Pearce Reno (certified BMW collision center).

Amazing how quickly the costs rack up with good collision repair.

Mine's also almost the same, I am guessing the same amount of repair and cost. I went to Niello collision for the last accident so I will consult with them and see what they say. my right light is fine, it's the left that will need replacement most likely. Yeah true man, sucks tho!

Niello is legit, they will make it right.

cfm56d7b · 07-12-2019, 10:42 AM

Where was the deer hit? California?

Glad you are OK.

Bummer man. Sorry to hear it. Could have been much worse though. Guy I work with tagged one a few months back doing 70mph. Wiped out whole front end, windshield, etc. Over 15K in damage

EDWYER · 07-12-2019, 12:41 PM

Yeah man it sucks and damn! 70mph and a deer is a disaster man! I hope I don't pick up any road debris cuz i got no protection on the front left grill side.

No worries. :-).

I lived on the East Coast some time ago and collisions with deer were widely reported. Some encounters resulted in both injuries and car being totaled.

Yeah I was up in the hills and behind the car so I was barely doing 35-40, if I was any faster, it would've been bad
