Here is what happens when you hit a deer on the Autobahn at 140

Who's hungry????

Wonder what the loop out the front of the bumper is for?

 

[03 D-max]

Wonder what the loop out the front of the bumper is for?

tie down. there is a small square cover on the front and rear bumpers and the yoke screws in. the yoke is part of the toolkit. (I'm a former bmw owner)

Holy hell!!!!

Actually thats a new 6 Series ( Im a BMW technician) <--sucks somtimes

The Z4 is kinda simular lookin though. This one is a 6-cyl car and that is an expensive N-54 engine! Could that maybe be a fox? The Vanos is trashed for sure!

Oh ya.....DAMN!!!

Hmmmm, 2nd look, that might be a diesel, wish i coud see the VIN on the strut tower, and yes, the loop is a tow hook!

That is crazy.Ive had a few close calls with the Dmax this fall. So far lucky deer, lucky grill and bumper for me.

This year the deer have done a good job of staying away from the truck. It would be a bad thing if I took one out, but a good excuse for a bumper upgrade

Not much left of that thing... Surprising to see that little damage to the car though.

 

[Redbone]

I'd almost call BS. Amazingly little (apparent) damage. For the in the know, does it look like the engine has been shoved back?

Almost looks like a freshly skinned hide that someone tucked into place.

I bet it is a really small dear or a fox.

The fromt of that car is really small, even an small to average sized dear would likely go over the top.

I hit a medium sized dear in my 3 series and it just went over the top of the hood. Although, I wasn't going 140 mph.

Also, those cars are built like tanks. They can take some serious impact.

I doubt thats a deer, prolly a fox or dog. Right in front of the intake duct, NE of the strut tower, looks like the rest of the critters snout, and looks like canine teeth. He cleared the radiator well. He prolly didnt go "inside" the engine. Its an inline six diesel. But it did plow into the airbox/turbos. Mighta broke them off. And you can bet some of him baked on the exhaust, nasty!

looks like he might have shoved the motor back a little though!!!looks loke the entire animal.
