Ouch. Blood on the headlights, never a good thing.... Sorry man.

Sp82 · 08-10-2012, 07:30 AM

sorry!...atleast damage doesnt look THAT bad.

Crumbs · 08-10-2012, 08:31 AM

damn

rt10415 · 08-10-2012, 08:52 AM

the guy from the workshop phoned and said that once they had stripped the front away they discovered more damage than first thought, including the A/C radiator.

At least the lease company are sorting everything so I won't be out of pocket.
They delivered a new Audi A3 to use until it's fixed. It's nice, but it's no F30!

Oh dear ?!!

DerekS · 08-10-2012, 10:26 AM

Yikes, that's a real bummer ! The good news is you were not injured.
Be thankful you weren't driving in Newfoundland and hit a moose !

thanks for your comments guys
they said it will come back as good as new, so fingers crossed.

BigDadyCool · 08-10-2012, 05:47 PM

damn dear lol

JUSKIDN · 08-11-2012, 12:08 AM

You are blessed man, it could have been a lot worse. Usually when people hit deer the deer jumps and ends up going through the windshield and hurting the front seat passengers. Its just a car......and it can be repaired. Maybe you can get a M sport front cap now??

schnell13 · 08-11-2012, 03:31 AM

Wow! Like others have said, you got very lucky the deer didn't jump up and go through the windshield. How fast were you going? That's actually quite impressive and a testament to the build quality of the car that there wasn't more damage. Good to know you're ok, and that the poor deer didn't suffer too much. Hope you get your car back soon!

I was on the motorway doing 70 mph!

it was a young deer, thankfully!

Alen E90 · 08-12-2012, 12:39 AM

AZ330FZL · 08-14-2012, 12:53 PM

Hate to see an F30 like that, but glad your ok. Hope to see your car all fixed up soon!

WantAvant · 08-15-2012, 02:18 PM

That sucks, I have hit a few of them in my time and there is nothing you can do when they jump out like that, well except for cringe

rt10415 · 08-22-2012, 12:03 PM
