This is what happens when a deer hits ya

Check on realoem.com for estimate pricing. First get all the part numbers needed then go on a BMW dealer site like tischer to compare pricing. You need to find out shipping also since most of the parts are large and oversized.

The other options is buy it back like other have mentioned and then find some good used parts to repair on your own budget.

Assuming they can save the door handle -($103.51)

gotta go at the moment... thanks for the link suggestion

well think about mirrors for a second. you can save 250 if you buy some m3 mirrors from ddm or i bet quite a few members here will sell you their old passenger side mirror for dirt cheap.

also the door you may be able to find at a junk yard try http://car-part.com/

and search for a 2 door but then it will bring up compact in the final results

In Germany, you don't have to sue because the deer are insured. You just have to find the guy the deer belongs to and have him inspect the car. He writes a statement, you submit it to your insurance and then they collect from his. It's very organized.

LMAO. Thanks for informing me of the laws. And a big thank you for the laugh that just lasted 5 mins from that 911 call.

The adjuster from State College got ahold of me at work today, he'll be checking out my car in the mid-AM Wed. He sounded a lot more confident than the other guy I talked to Monday that we'd be able to get it fixed. I found a guy here that has the door and both fenders for sale, and I told the adjuster that and that I wanted to do whatever I could to keep the car. So we'll see how this all turns out.

One other question -- I'm having battery problems all of a sudden. Tues. morning it was a little weak and really weak Tuesday after work. I noticed there are two leads running to the mirror --- could there be a short somewhere causing a battery draw? I've never had battery problems before. I got home Sun. morning around 1am, didn't drive the car again until 6am Tuesday. I have a pretty long drive to work (30min or so) so hopefully it is charging enough that I don't kill the battery.

Any thoughts on this problem?

My car had it's door replaced and the rear quarter panel fixed for $600 or so, they bondoed the rear quarter panel. So maybe $1500? 2000?

[jtbeemer]

I found out today that they're going to fix my car. He said "it isn't nearly as bad as I figured" -- maybe I freaked out describing it, I dunno.

I'm having major electrical drainage now. It wouldn't start today after work. Luckily a woman I worked with loaned me her battery boster for the day, and it going to sell me another one she has tomorrow. I only have to make it until Monday then my car is in the shop.

Thanks to everyone here for the advice. I'm so happy I won't lose this car.

I wanted to post that my estimate ran over $4k, and I'm supposed to get it back Aug 12. But the worst of it all is that they put me in a Pontiac G6. OMFG what a POS. Everything is made of the cheapest plastic, the doors are designed by... well I don't really think they had a designer per se. Lets just say I have to fold my self up just to get in the car, but once inside I have 6" of headroom. How dumb is that? If the G6 is the darling of the US car industry, the US car industry has a long way to go yet. The only cool things about the car are the radio and sensors attached to it, the telescoping steering wheel (even considering that it also has plasticy garbage on it), and ok handling for a front drive car. Other than that I hate it.

Glad it's going to be repaired, that thing was almost immaculate (save for the spoiler).

I had a G6 rental and it was alright. The thing I hate about most cars is that you have to positively STOMP on the gas to get it going, especially uphill. I've heard the G8 is a trip though, especially the sport versions.

Probably won't ever go domestic though.
