All I can say is Fuck! I hit the deer on G.S parkway on sat night!
On the passenger side front bumper, fog light and side fender are all broken.

BMW certified collision shop, but go through insurance. Dont waste your time with an independent shop. Unfortunately, I know from experience...

Curious, what car do you have and what exit was it?? Could the oil leak be due to the cooler being on the passenger side? Good luck.

That sucks, but at least you're alright... The things that broke on the car can be replaced.

Did you eat the deer? I bet it'll taste mighty good after your car is repaired.

TurboFan · 10-21-2007, 11:23 PM

that sucks, but uh, can you zoom out a bit? It's a little tough to see what happened...

Booboo12 · 10-21-2007, 11:26 PM

glad your ok

livnlegacy · 10-21-2007, 11:27 PM

don't drive the car with leaking oil....call your insurance company, file a claim, tell them what happened, tell them you are worried about driving the car due to the leaking oil and arrange to have it towed (ins will cover this) to the BMW dealer who can refer/send you to their shop. good luck.

YG35 · 10-21-2007, 11:28 PM

is the old leaking from cooler ?

The 2nd oil cooler is in that area. The vent sits in front of the right wheel.

What is a "BMW certified collision shop?"

Is there such a list out there?
