guess the deer was small enough and the BMW hit the deer exactly in the right spot where it would fly and fit into the passenger side kidney grille. Gonna be a really really nasty cleanup tho. Looks like some of the pulleys and moving mechanicals got a hold of it and shredded it

im starting to think thats not a deer but maybe a dog or a fox

or did the original BMW forum post say it was a deer, then it would have to be a real young one

I'm going to say fox on this one. Still crazy how it completely blasted through the kidney and into the engine bay though. Guy must have been going pretty fast!

Wow. Much much nastier than the bird that lodged in the grill of my car, going 80 mph up the NJ Turnpike.

Yuck.
