Hit a deer

fshubert · 07-20-2016, 04:00 PM

Yup, hit a small deer. Thankfully, I was only going about 30MPH on a country road but could not stop in time. It got up and stood next to mom. Hit it right in it's backside as it pulled a squirrel move.....ran in front of me and tried to change direction rather than continue running (it probably would have made it if it didn't try to turn around). Anyway, looks like minimal damage. Damage limited to grill and duct. Any guesses on what it will cost to fix? I'm not looking forward to trying to remove the nose to get to the parts.......

Insert mesh, air intake, center - M Sport
51 11 8 054 132
~ $30

Air duct, brake, right - M Sport
51 74 8 054 230
~ $20

I think this should be the correct part numbers, but double check with your dealer.

Wow, lucky, well for you, not for a deer.

Hitting a full grown one, damage can get quite bad, that doesn't look bad at all.
Louis CK take on deer always crack me up.

If it were a bear the cost to repair would be dear.

Deer are neither easy nor cheap to repair.

The repair should be cheap considering it's a small deer
