i donno but i say you shave the BEAMER! handles all of it.

i been thinking about it, i have to tint the windows, and then i have to get the new halo head lights and smoked out tail lights, then new exhaust, and supercharger, and the motor is easy to work on, remove the plastic and the motor is wide open, easy to work on, lots of room, costs are alot, but o well!!

Maybe a Ford or Chevy, but never a BMW.

body work isnt bad at all....


how much will the new grills cost?

and there was no damage to the bumper?

The grills are $49 for the pair new off ebay, and the front bumper cover is ok, but the bumper its self got pushed back a lil bit, along with the core support, easy pull, just havent done it yet, and the deer was dead..lol.. Also i have SR 22 insurance and a $1000 detuctable on this car, so i wasnt turning it in, when i can fix it myself!

We hit in on the interstate doing 70mph, so it wasnt a light hit, and this is all that happened to it, it was a smaller doe, so that helped!

Sucks what happened. I love the '99 540. Best year for the E39's. Get some Dinan gear in there //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Fast as heck, but drop the Dinan and that car would be unbelievably fast.

I found a place that makes superchargers for these 4.4L V8s, but im going threw Dinan for the Cold air intake, throttle body, and stage 2 computer tuning, then have a exhaust shop the exhaust on it!

my girls 02 sunfire had 7g's worth of damage and she was only going about 30, slowing down to stop at a stop sign!!! hood, windshield, fender, door. it was nasty.

you sure it would of been 1000 deductible. sometimes insurances have different rules for hitting deer. my girl has a 500 deductible but since she hit a deer it only cost her 100.

Thats all that was damage from hitting a dear at 70? I've hit like 3 deers where i live and doing around 50 does more damage then that. Yea BMWs are great and i would love to own like an 03 or 02 m3 but other then that i wouldn't own one. Their engines are unreliable. I have a friend with a brand new 08 335i couple and its got ****** problems already. Another friend with a 99 328xi or something like that, and he had to rebuilt the engine twice already. First time was his fault but 2nd time was just unnecessary and ever since that, hes has trouble with that car ever since. The auto shop that he brings it to, the owner owns a 01 or 02 x5 and he said he replaced his ****** in it also. After hearing all of those stories and witnessing some of it, makes me not want to own a bmw. Maybe leasing a new one for 2 or 3 years and getting a new one then that'll work.
