Damn Deer! - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

They're out there and they are gunning for your car! I was minding my own business doing about 35 mph on the road about a half mile from my house and WHAM! My passenger window crazed and a very surprised looking deer appeared at the window. The stupid thing just ran into the side of my car. This is about $3500 worth of damage. The deer did not fare as well.

That will wake you up!

I'm sorry to hear that, those animals have no respect for peoples things.

Sorry to hear that. A few years ago, I was backing my last car, an M3, out of the garage when a deer literally kicked out my tail light! I think it was a couple of hundred bucks (really bad pun...I know).

Sorry about the incident. That's one of the reasons I sold my motorcycle...it could have been a lot worse :-(

Rats with antlers!

I got hit twice in my wife's car... second hit was before I';d even had chance to get the first in for an estimate.

Insurance should cover as Comprehensive- not collision. (So no impact on your rates.)

we dont got deer overhere in the city.

what did my car kill; 1 jack russel terrier
1 pittbul pup
about 6 rabbits
about 5 cats
all at night offcourse.pffffffff

and a zillion bugs. she loves to eat bugs.
have to say i hit 1 rabbit left front corner, the rest were all in my sides or even straith on the side of the wheels. your mind is shaken for couple off days afterwards, i admit.especially dogs, i love dogs, they are mens best friend. got sick for a week from the 2 dogs . i couldent do anything about it. one ran smack on in the front left wheel(on the side)he wanted my bmw roundel in the wheel,the other wanted a piece off my left backdoor and gotten under the backwheel.both died .i love animals and wouldent hurt one if i could avoid one. they are like suicide animals , see the car and goooooooo.
