Minor remodel with the help of a fawn that though he was faster than 50i. Internally a few broken tabs that hold things together. I see windshield adhesive in my future.

The replacement lens only come in pairs. Anybody need right Amber relfector for 2011-2013 e70?

It was only approximately 1.5 seconds from when the deer popped out of the woods until impact. I only had time to coast.

Just came out of a curve and decided much better to hit the deer than risk a car from behind coming around a curve at 50+ to find a parked X5 in the driving lane.

I had enough time to take my foot off the gas and look in my mirror to assess can I hit the brakes. Impact was before I had eyes back off the mirror.

The reflector might be the least expensive trim part on the entire car. Definitely a best case scenario.

Three is a tiny bit of paint "crows foot" at the corners of the lens opening but not enough to worry about repairing. Some windshield adhesive to glue parts where tabs broke and a new lens it'll be a nearly good as new fix.
