coming back from my Ohio trip a rabbit was running across the road, I hit him at about 78mph needless to say the result was bad for both of us :thumbsdown: Almost lost control of the car due to the surprise of hitting something at that speed....Guess now I have an excuse to upgrade the bumper using insurance money ......wondering what kind of estimate I would get from BMW to have this fixed then get a great indy to do a similar quote with aftermarket parts!

I saw him hopping and the ears for a split second, I guess it was running parallel to the center median and tried to get back across to the grass, in adition it wasnt running straight across the road but at a diagonal against traffic so he went head first into the car. I was in the fast lane and it was trying to get across to the slower lanes. I saw it make about 1-2 hops into the lane about 20 feet in front of me at over 75mph even at 50mph 20 feet flys by in milliseconds, not much I could have done.
