It was night and my parents drove back home from the cinema. Then on a road between two villages a boar crossed the road and BANG! My dad hit the boar. Result:
You can't see any damage at the front...
... but between fender and passenger's door
Big gap
I took the following pic under the fender to show, that it has a buckling
I'd like to show you the passenger's door better. But you can't see it on the pictures. The whole door is curved round the x-axis
F***ing french plastic car.... Front bumper is okay, but fender and door are bended
Conclusion: Insurance pays, f***in' french trash is damaged. So who cares?
Thanks god he didn't choose the E60 to drive!!!

Main thing is that everybody is OK. Hopefully even the swine.
I hit a deer once (at no more than 5 mph; the deer survived, though with a sore bum for a while) on an E39. It still managed to bend the bonnet lid a little and to break a couple of plastic trim bits. The grille fell off, but it was not broken. And that was on a steel lid. I can't imagine what would have happened on an aluminium one!

A safe f***ing French plastic trash just saved their lives.

As you can see the impact couldn't have been that fast... The front bumper doesn't even have a small dent...
