Ok, this was really crazy this morning? I had to take my X5 in to work to get the tire changed due to a large nail. While I was completing the paperwork another colleague came in and seemed a bit distress. I over heard him saying that he has some missing cats and such and I immediately thought, oh no, the cats were getting warm in the engine compartment and he started it?! Then Charlie mentioned Coyotes? So I turned around and had a look. OMG! Charlie kinda lives out in the woods and often brought photos of wild animals that he would see in his yard or off the road that leads to the highway. He had often mention he would see Coyotes running around and even had taken a few shots at them? It seems as these Coyotes either were chasing one of Charlies many cats that may have take shelter in the engine compartment OR these guys simply don?t like BMW?s?!!! Hmmmm, anyway quite a bit of damage to his car. Bumper replacement and fender repair. Not to mention all the scratches completely around the car!

He wouldn't have damaged the car if you allowed him to drive the car. :-)

The coyotes around here chew on almost ANYTHING plastic, so the damage looks quite familiar!

Stupid a-hole coyotes.

I would fall to my knees in laughter if I came out and saw some haggard dog chewing on my bumper. I would probably try to keep it and name it.

Ah, no deductible they are company cars. Well, if you are at fault there Is a deductible, otherwise no. Those stinking coyotes!
