Hit a racoon about a month ago and that bitch tore up my front bumper. Damages were $1600!! Messed up my PDC sensors, shattered my fog light, cracked my fog light "under" housing and cracked my bumper and the amber reflector. Attached are some pics. Will turn in to get fixed on May 5th. After the estimate, BMW went ahead and took the glass and foglight out and will repair it later.

About two cars ago, i hit a freakin turkey when i had my Platnium Gray 528 and it did $2500 in damages.

Rule of thumb ---> Me and animals don't get along.

 

so now you can add a raccoon to list I see....the turkey last year, that was random as well. glad you are alright tho...what's the next e60 going to be?

 

Where do you live bmwfan05? The only animals in my neck of the woods walk on 2 feet.

 

yeah random to say the least. I am gettin a X5 for myself in May and my wife will get her 09 335i sedan any day now. I'm hoping to order a 550i - Alpine White / Gray / Bamboo You like? haha

 

Haha, in South Carolina. When i hit the turkey, last year i was traveling a back road to work early one morning. This raccoon happened about a week after i got this one, traveling on a regular highway.

 

haha, we've talked about that color combo...awesome...hope you get that

 

Me too, i think they are trying to wing us away from gettin any 5 series. Something about the demand isn't high for 5series and is more so for the 3 and X5??? I guess she will tell me whats the deal when i turn in my wife's truck soon; by the way - have had ZERO problems with that beast!!!

 

demand isn't high?

 

550 in Carbon Black all the way.

Seriously, Alpine White is nice looking (see Alpine White Girl's mods which really add to the Alpine White look).

Actually, my fav 550 color is Titanium Silver.

Whatever color you chose, you can't go wrong with a 550.

 

yes sir, they even passed around a memo about it. Thats what i said. Something about dealers arent seekin demo 5series as they are the 3series, 1 series, and x5 series. I don't think they are going to let us get the new Z4's either. They are only let a "few" special people custom order cars now, they rest they are pulling from dealerships all over. The X5 that i will get in May is coming from a dealer, and i dont know what color, model or options. Sounds great, huh?
